3-4 chicken breasts, pounded
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) salted butter

Step 7: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the chicken is completely cooked.
Step 8: When done, remove the chicken from the oven, then spoon some of the sauce over. Serve hot garnished with parsley. Enjoy!
