Cheese Nip Chicken image

I found this in a small recipe cookbook years ago that they sell at the grocery check out counter, I don't remember which one. This is a very tasty, kid friendly dish. My kids love to help make this, and ask for it all the time. Make sure to make extra, because they heat up real well the next day too!!
