Recipe View Top the chicken breast halves with the remaining shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using a dry sherry instead of white wine in the sauce.
Pounding the chicken to an even thickness ensures even cooking and a more tender result.
Freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese melts more evenly than pre-shredded cheese.
A sprinkle of fresh parsley can add a touch of color and freshness to the finished dish.
