May I add my 2 cents for your next time?

If you're planning to serve a chicken breast dish that can be prepared in advance and heated just before serving, you can try this one:

1)Cut the chicken breasts in thin slices, dip them in beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs. Fry in oil.

2)Arrange the chicken in a buttered baking dish. Cover with thin slices of Prosciutto Cotto or Crudo and then with slices of Parmesan or Fontina cheese, or with bechamel sauce.

3)Just before serving, bake at 350° until the cheese is melted or the bechamel is bubbling. If you start from room temp. it will take about 10 mins for cheese and 20 mins for bechamel.

This dish, called "Cotolette alla Bolognese" or "alla Valdostana" depending on the cheese you use, it's very good for such occasions as you can prepare it the day before and heat just before serving (even at the end of the movie, while your guests are reaching the table!). It's very tasty, and the cheese keeps the meat moist even if it's kept aside for a while.

I don't think pre-heat times are significant in this situation.
