To prepare this entree, you will typically remove it from its packaging and place it in an oven-safe dish. It is then heated in a preheated oven until the chicken is thoroughly warmed through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Some variations may also allow for microwave preparation, though oven heating generally yields a crispier texture for the breading. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level for consumption. It is best served hot, straight from the oven.
