Instructions

  • Prepare the rack in the bottom third of the oven, put a heavy baking sheet on top of the rack, and heat to 450 ° F.

  • Sprinkle with half the mozzarella and the smoked Gouda cheese. Spread half of the chicken and the onion over the cheese.
  • Bake until the edges are golden-brown and crisp, for 12 minutes.
  • Garnish with cilantro and let it cool for two min before slicing and serving.
