I have a few tips that will help you make the mozzarella chicken even better:
* Serve it with zucchini noodles if you want it light and with fewer carbs.
* If a little extra carbs are not an issue for you, then try it with pasta
* Serve the mozzarella chicken with toast and be sure to mop up all that delicious tomato sauce with it. Leave nothing, you hear me?! (that’s what your taste buds are going to scream)
* You can use boneless chicken thighs instead of breast if you prefer them.
* If you like your dishes spicy (like I do), then add chopped chili or chili flakes, to your taste.
