Variations and Substitutions
Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with extra firm tofu or a mix of other vegetables like mushrooms and bell peppers. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to keep it vegetarian.
Cheese Variations: If cheddar isn’t your favorite, feel free to use other cheeses like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a blend of your choice. Just make sure it melts well.
Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch to make the sauce gluten-free. Use gluten-free bread crumbs or omit the topping if necessary.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce for a bit of extra flavor.
Additional Veggies: Incorporate other vegetables such as sliced bell peppers, carrots, or peas for added nutrition and variety.
