These are GOOD! I didn’t have a rack to place overtop the baking sheet and the chicken still cooked well. I’d emphasize shaking off excess flour though because it can cause some pieces to have an unpleasant crunch.

I added some Kraft mozzarella “melt” cheese as well, for better coverage of the top, and it was delicious.

So delicious!! I would cook it a little longer depending on your over to melt the mozzarella more!
