Notes

  • Make this recipe gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months and reheat in a skillet or microwave when ready to eat.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding water or broth to loosen the sauce if needed.
