Notes

For a lighter option, consider using chicken thighs, which remain juicy and flavorful. You can substitute fresh garlic for garlic powder—1 teaspoon equals about 3 cloves. Leftovers are delicious; store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
