Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
  • Serve this bake with a side of couscous or quinoa to soak up all the delicious juices.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, consider a quick marinade of lemon juice and garlic powder before tossing with olive oil.
