Main Dish Brazilian

Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the chicken breast until fully done and shred it.
Dice the onions and tomatoes.
Cut the bread into cubes.
In a baking dish, layer the bread cubes, shredded chicken, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Brazilian Chicken Cheese Bread Bake

A shallow baking dish helps the layers heat evenly; a very deep dish may leave the center less hot when the top is golden.
The top should look browned in spots, while the bread underneath should be soft and moist rather than dry or crunchy throughout.
Let the bake rest for a few minutes before serving so the cheese settles and portions hold together more neatly.
