  5. Bake. Bake for 30 to 32 minutes or until the chicken's internal temperature registers at 165ºF.
  6. Add cheese. Sprinkle with cheese and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  7. Rest and serve. Remove from oven and let stand for about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to serving plates, then spoon garlic butter sauce over the chicken and serve.
