For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the flour mixture. If you prefer a lower-fat option, you can use cooking spray instead of melted butter to coat the baking dish and drizzle over the chicken. Experiment with different types of cheese! Monterey Jack, Colby, or a blend of cheeses would all be delicious. Serve with a side of steamed broccoli, roasted asparagus, or a simple salad for a complete and balanced meal.
