I love that this recipe can be customized to your own taste preferences. I usually add some extra spices to mine, but you can also add different vegetables or cheeses.

I've made this recipe with both chicken breasts and thighs. I prefer using thighs because they're more flavorful. But either one will work well.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in the oven, so it's pretty hands-off. I usually serve it with a side of rice or pasta.
