Notes

You can serve the chicken with steamed vegetables, salad, or cauliflower rice. Drizzling lemon juice before serving enhances the flavor. For better results, marinate chicken several hours beforehand. Adjust spices to suit your taste. Adding parmesan cheese before baking can create a delicious crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage. Make sure chicken is at room temperature before cooking for even results.
