Notes

  1. Marinate the chicken in the seasoning for 30 minutes if you have time, for extra flavor.
  2. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  3. Freeze any leftovers for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
  4. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Feel free to add other Mediterranean veggies like zucchini or artichoke hearts for variety.
