Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and garlic for a few hours before cooking. For a crunchier texture, broil the chicken for a few minutes after baking. You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor, substitute some lemon juice with heavy cream for a creamier dish, or add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
