Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator before cooking. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but adjust cooking time as needed to prevent drying out. Vegetable broth can replace chicken broth. Feel free to add other Mediterranean vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers during the last few minutes of cooking.

Storage & Reheating
