FAQ
Q: Can I use a different type of cheese?
A: Yes! You can substitute the sharp cheddar with other cheeses like Gruyère, Gouda, or a mild cheddar for a different flavor profile.

Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the beer cheese sauce and cook the chicken in advance. When ready to serve, reheat the sauce, add the chicken, and garnish with the bacon.

Q: Can I use boneless, skinless thighs instead of breasts?
A: Absolutely! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work wonderfully in this dish and will be even more tender and juicy.
