Ingrediënten
Add any vegetables you like.
Mix mozzarella with some sharp cheddar or aged cheese for a more intense flavor.
Adjust the salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
Delicious with a fresh salad on the side.
Replace chicken thighs with chicken breast (though the meat will be less tender).
If you sauté the onion longer (7–8 min.), you’ll get a sweeter flavor.
Serve as a main dish with fries or roasted potatoes.
