Notes
To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely. Place it in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will last for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the oven or microwave until heated through. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice for an hour before cooking. Use fresh minced garlic for a stronger garlic flavor. Don't overcook the chicken; it should be juicy and tender. Feel free to add herbs like parsley or thyme for more flavors.
