Notes

  • Slice the lemons very thin so they bake up tender.
  • Use cooked chicken only for the best texture and safe baking time.
  • Fresh mozzarella works well if you want a softer, creamier cheese layer.
  • Try basil, roasted garlic, or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust from getting soggy.
  • Lemon zest can replace lemon slices for a kid-friendly variation.
