FAQ
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes! Bone-in or boneless thighs work, but baking time may need to be slightly longer.
Is it okay to prepare this ahead of time?
Absolutely. Spread the topping on the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes. Substitute Parmesan with a dairy-free cheese alternative and use a vegan mayo.
