Notes
Cheese : For the best creamy melt, buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself using a box grater. You can use any variety of cheese you prefer! I like to use medium cheddar cheese but try using sharp cheddar cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese for a change.
Chicken Breast : Anything from 1.5 pounds to 2 pounds of chicken will work great in this recipe. This could be 3-4 chicken breasts.
Chicken Bouillon : Use the pasta from a jar or can, or use bouillon cubes or the granule powder. Either one works. Just make sure you use the equivalent of 1 tablespoon.
You can use chicken broth instead of water, but I find that it's plenty flavorful and yummy with the water. But broth will also work.
