Notes
- Tip 1: I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. You can use any chicken pieces that you enjoy.
- Tip 2: Make sure to use a high-quality mayonnaise in this dish. I recommend Hellmann’s Mayonnaise.
- Tip 3: You can substitute a container of store-bought pimento cheese instead of making it from scratch.
- Tip 4: I like to cook the chicken under the oven broiler for a minute or two to get the cheese extra melty.
- Tip 5: Yes! You can assemble the dish ahead of time and bake it when you are ready.
