Easy

Chicken breasts, bell peppers, and onions get lightly charred under the broiler, then the chicken is sliced and added back before a luscious homemade cheese sauce drapes over the mixture. Evaporated fat-free milk gives the sauce creamy richness. For the best results, shred the cheese from a block instead of purchasing pre-shredded. Be sure to cook the sauce over moderately low heat, and be patient as you wait for it to go from melted to thickened.

Preheat broiler to high. Coat a large rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. Arrange chicken on pan and brush evenly with 1½ teaspoons oil. Combine ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika and sprinkle evenly over both sides of chicken. Broil chicken for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, and remaining 1½ tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with remaining ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper and toss well to coat. Remove pan from oven and turn chicken over. Add mushroom mixture to pan around chicken. Broil 10 minutes (chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F).
Meanwhile, place cheese in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss to coat. Stir in evaporated milk. Cook over medium-low heat until cheese melts and then mixture thickens, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce. Keep warm.
Remove pan from oven. Place chicken on a cutting board. Stir vegetables and return to oven. Broil 5 minutes
Thinly slice chicken across the grain. Add to pan and gently stir to combine with vegetables. Drizzle cheese sauce over mixture.
