For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before baking. If you're short on time, you can assemble the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Serve with a side of pasta, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
