For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried oregano or basil to the chicken mixture. Ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding the toasts to achieve a crispy, golden-brown chicken layer. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your liking. Feel free to use your favorite marinara sauce or even a homemade version for enhanced flavor.
