Once done, garnish with some cherry tomatoes and serve. Enjoy!
Best Serving Ideas
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. Mashed potatoes or rice also pair well to soak up any juices. A light drizzle of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top enhances the flavors beautifully.
Refrigeration Tips
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken moist. For longer storage, freeze the cooked chicken wrapped tightly and consume within 2 months for best quality.
