For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack or a sharp cheddar would also be delicious.
If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
Make sure the potatoes are evenly cubed for consistent cooking.
To prevent sticking, you can also use parchment paper instead of aluminum foil.
