Some tips for this simple healthy dinner:

Use leftover chicken that you skin and debone. If you don’t have 2 lbs leftover from a meal, store what you have in the freezer and add to it every time you have leftovers until you accumulate enough.

Use precooked frozen chicken breasts in place of raw ones you have to cook first.

Use canned chicken breast meat.

Keep packages of Monterey Jack cheese in the freezer so they will be available when you decide to make this at the last minute.

Use low fat cheese to reduce calories even more.
