To prepare, simply remove the plastic film from the tray. Place the frozen entree in a conventional oven preheated to the temperature specified on the packaging. Bake for the recommended time, ensuring the chicken is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Alternatively, some versions may be suitable for microwave preparation, following the package instructions carefully for best results. Avoid overcooking to maintain the chicken's texture.
