Notes
Tips:
- I like to use chicken thighs for this recipe because they stay moist while in the oven, however, if you would like to remove a bit of the fat, you can easily use boneless skinless chicken breasts.
- You can easily use avocado oil in place of olive oil.
- Always use a food thermometer to be sure the internal temperature of your chicken is 165° before removing from the oven.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep and lasts up to four days in the refrigerator.
