Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade.
• If using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness before marinating to ensure even cooking.
• Make sure to discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw chicken to avoid cross-contamination.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftover cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• You can use the leftover chicken in salads, wraps, or sandwiches for quick and easy meals.
• Serve the grilled or baked chicken as a main dish with roasted vegetables, cauliflower rice, or a fresh salad.
