- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option.
- Use fresh Parmesan for best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning and garlic according to personal preference.
- Ensure chicken is cooked through by checking with a meat thermometer.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
