Note
For best results, use fresh parsley if available, as it adds a brighter flavor compared to dried herbs.
If you prefer a crispier topping, broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) for food safety.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
