I first learned of “Malibu Chicken” years ago when my family used to eat at Sizzler Steakhouse. This baked version is even better!
You could use frozen pre-breaded chicken patties if desired. I love the actual chicken breasts. I often have the butcher cut the chicken breasts in half for me while at the store as I finish my shopping. Then they are ready to go!
You can use any kind of cheese you want. White cheddar, provolone, swiss, and mozzarella are all great! If you don’t have slices, feel free to use fresh shredded cheese on top!
