I liked the way you made the chicken cheesier. That sounds so tasty. I made something like that awhile back in March. I made BBQ chicken, with a side of celery and buttery corn with cayenne pepper. It looks delicious. Thank you for your post. http://askmelissaanything.blogspot.com/2015/03/dinner-entre-bbq-chicken-corn-on-cob.html

How do you think this recipe would work with other parts of the chicken besides chicken breast (wings, legs, thighs) I don't always have chicken breast but I at least have one of the other chicken parts. Would you change anything?

What about using fresh chicken instead of frozen?

This was so good! I wish I would have made more of it! All I had was parmesan (shredded bagged kind) and mozzarella and it was fantastic.

We made it and liked it but found it was even better when we cut the amount or ranch dressing mix to 1/2 a packet. Then it was amazing on fresh breast.
