I love this recipe and make it quite often! I was wondering if you’ve tried it with chicken and how you would prepare/cook it?

I haven’t tried it with chicken, but I do think it would be an easy swap! I would say just extend the baking time a bit, maybe 20-25 minutes baking and then broil to crisp it up a little. Enjoy!
