Recipe Tips
- There is no need to butterfly the chicken as they will be cooked all the way through by the end of cooking.
- As I mentioned above, you can use any type of pasta sauce that you like. Personally, I like to use my homemade marinara sauce, but any store-bought jar sauce will work just as well.
- If you don't like the possibility of soggy breadcrumbs, then simply don’t coat the chicken. Once the chicken has finished cooking, top with some pan-fried breadcrumbs.
- Feel free to experiment a little with the type of cheese you use. I like the mix of parmesan and cheddar, but something like mozzarella will also work.
