Notes
The baking step is crucial for melting the mozzarella cheese and ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
Be sure to keep a close eye on the skillet during the baking process to prevent the cheese from burning.
This dish pairs well with a variety of side dishes such as pasta, garlic bread, or a fresh salad.
