Why This Recipe Works

Flavor Layers: Marinara sauce adds a tangy flavor that complements the savory ham and cheese.
Quick Cooking: Cooking the chicken first ensures it stays moist while the cheese melts perfectly.
Chef's Pro Tip: For optimal cheese melt, broil the dish for the last 2 minutes of baking.
