Deep Dish Cheddar Chicken

A wonderful potluck dish that I found originally in a TV guide insert for a Kraft TV event, many many years ago. Wonderful. I often add sage, as I like that flavor, but it's good without t, and will get great reviews from all who try it. I use breasts for this, but I'm sure any chicken would work well.
