Notes
Chicken Selection: Use any cut of chicken, but adjust cooking times accordingly. Chicken breasts cook quicker than, say, drumsticks or bone-in chicken thighs.
Marinate: For more flavor, marinate the chicken in the artichoke marinade for a few hours or overnight.
Herbs: Additional dried herbs like thyme or rosemary enhance the flavor.
Veggies: Add chopped bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Rest: For juicier chicken, allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days and reheat as needed.
