Use freshly grated parmesan for superior melting and flavor integration.
03 -
For a crisp surface, broil for the final 2–3 minutes of baking.

Ground turkey may be substituted for chicken, though it will alter the flavor profile.
05 -
Add chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or basil for enhanced freshness.
