    I don’t like parmesan, is there a way to substitute it? Or can you just leave it off?

      You could try using nutritional yeast or another cheese like mozzarella if you don’t want parmesan! It should still taste good!

      Just leave it off. It’s not the end of the world. You’ll still have chicken and sauce!

    Better than any restaurant! I paired it with spaghetti and it was a hit! 🥳

    Yummmm! The cheese is everything. I would suggest using more marinara sauce though.

    1. 3 stars
      I dunno, I think it has enough sauce. Too much can make it soggy, right? Just a thought.

      Totally agree! More marinara would make it saucier and yummier. I always drown mine in sauce! 😋

    I don’t know if I did something wrong but the chicken turned out kinda dry. I followed the recipe exactly.
