Yum!
I made this for dinner last night, and it was fantastic! I did make a few alterations, though. I left out the pepperoncini because they can upset my stomach. I also used 2 oz. mozzarella and 2 oz. Romano instead of the 4 oz. of mozzarella. I used a whole avocado instead of half. For the chicken breast, I used Penzeys Spices' Ruth Ann's Muskego Ave Chicken and Fish Seasoning and grilled them on low before shredding/chopping for the recipe. I also used a gluten-free crust from BeeFree Gluten-Free Bakery. I'll definitely be making this again!
