Notes

  1. Chicken Choices: This recipe is versatile! Whether you prefer chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks, any of them will work wonderfully. Just ensure they're roughly the same size for even cooking.
  2. Vegetable Variations: Feel free to experiment with other veggies you have on hand. Zucchini, carrots, or green beans would be lovely additions or substitutions.
  3. Baking Dish: If you don't have a 9x13 baking dish, two smaller dishes will do the trick. Just make sure to spread out the ingredients so they're not too crowded, ensuring even roasting.
  4. Storage and Reheating: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, you might want to add a splash of chicken broth or water to keep the dish moist.
  5. Olive Alternatives: If kalamata olives aren't your thing or you don't have them on hand, green olives or even black olives can be used as a substitute.
