For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce. Ensure the chicken tenders are fully cooked through before topping with sauce and cheese. Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To prevent the panko bread crumbs from burning, maintain a moderate heat level while pan-frying the chicken. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired.
