    The chicken was dry and bland for my taste. Maybe add some spices next time?

    Real easy but too cheesy for me. I prefer less cheese.

    I didn’t have Italian dressing, used ranch instead. Still turned out great!

      I think ranch is a bit weird for this, but if it worked for you, then good job! 😊
