Recipe View Remove pan from oven and let sit five minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly and prevents it from being too runny. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce for a subtle kick.
Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends. Provolone or Monterey Jack would also work well in this recipe.
To prevent the bread crumbs from becoming soggy, lightly toast them in a dry skillet before coating the chicken.
Serve with a side of pasta or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
