Notes
For extra flavor, add herbs like Italian seasoning or oregano to the cheese mixture. Ensure the chicken is cut evenly to cook uniformly. If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture. To store any leftovers, place the cooled chicken in an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
