Notes
Healthier Option: Substitute mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt to reduce fat content while keeping the chicken moist and flavorful.
Herb Variation: Add 1 teaspoon of dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning to the mixture for extra flavor.
Spicy Kick: Incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce into the mixture for a spicier version.
Cheese Alternatives: Experiment with other hard cheeses such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago for a different flavor profile.
Low-Sodium: Use a low-sodium seasoning salt or reduce the amount of seasoning salt to suit dietary needs.
