Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a dash of garlic powder or substituting the parsley with fresh basil. If you prefer a crunchier texture, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of croutons. Ensure the chicken is well-seasoned before mixing to elevate the overall taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
