Notes
Serve hot with a side of vegetables, fresh salad, or pasta. Drizzle with lemon juice for added flavor or add a dipping sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 2-3 months. To reheat, bake in the oven until warmed through. You can prepare the chicken ahead of time and store it in the fridge until ready to bake.
