      5. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot, optionally adding more cheese on top.

      Notes

      Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms or seasonal veggies. Use fresh ingredients for a brighter flavor.
