• You can use any herbs and spices you like to season the chicken, such as Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or paprika.
• Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet or transfer the chicken to a baking dish before baking.
• If you prefer a crispier cheese topping, you can broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end of baking.
• Serve the chicken with a side of pasta, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• This dish is best served fresh, but you can also enjoy it cold as a topping for salads or sandwiches.
