Notes

For a gluten-free option, use almond flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs. Try baking the chicken instead of frying for a lighter version. Just bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as provolone or fontina for a variation on flavor.
