Expert Tips

  • Tender Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Cheese Options: Swap provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Crispier Topping: Toast the panko breadcrumbs lightly in a dry skillet before mixing for extra crunch.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead?
Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used. Adjust cooking time as needed to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

What sides pair well with this dish?
Mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, or a crisp Caesar salad complement this dish perfectly.

Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare the chicken and topping in advance. Assemble just before broiling for the best texture.

Storing & Reheating

  • Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to preserve the crust’s texture.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs in the crust.
  • Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the topping mixture.
  • Herbaceous Flavor: Mix fresh chopped parsley or thyme into the crust for added aroma.
