For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese. To save time, pre-cooked grilled chicken from the store can be used. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors of the dish. Consider adding some sun-dried tomatoes for a chewy texture and burst of flavor.
