Variations

Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

Storage
The chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months. The vegetables and cheese won't stand well to freezing. The bread wont last long in either fridge or freezer.
Top tip
Toast the bread for extra crispiness.
