Making this tonight! Should I halve my chicken breast halves horizontally if they’re really big? About how many ounces would you say yours are? Thanks!
Hi Leslie, I saw this too late! You can and just adjust the bake time! I used thick pieces of chicken breasts
Looks amazing. What are the nutrient counts please? Calories, carbs, proteins, fat. Thanks

I’m probably not looking in the right place but I can’t location the nutrition breakdown for this recipe. Was it posted?
Hey Tea and Biscuits, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have just updated the post to include the nutritional info. I hope you enjoy the dish!
This was excellent! I only have 2 changes to make when I make it again, I won’t precook the cauliflower (it got kinda mushy), and I’ll wait to add the mozzarella cheese (it lost any cheese texture & became a shell!). The taste is amazing though! Thank you!
Hi Dianne, I agree with your suggestions! And I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for the rating as well! Cheers!
Amazing! So easy and so tasty. I marinated the chicken in Italian dressing overnight.
