Notes

To keep the chicken moist, avoid overmixing the ingredients. You can substitute the ground chicken with ground turkey if you prefer. Adjust the garlic and herbs to your taste for more or less flavor. Feel free to add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition and flavor, or try different types of cheese, like mozzarella or cheddar.
