  • Use half the amount of dried herbs in place of fresh.
  • Make your own cutlets by thinly slicing or pounding boneless skinless chicken breasts.
  • Fontina is a semi-soft cheese with a buttery, nutty flavor.
  • Use Provolone, Gouda, Gruyere or a shredded Italian cheese blend as a substitute for Fontina, or skip the cheese all together and save a point!
