Cooking notes

Cut chicken into even pieces so it cooks consistently, and cook it through before serving.

Oven temperatures vary, so check a few minutes before the end of the suggested time.

Garlic cooks quickly; keep the heat moderate to avoid burning it and turning it bitter.

Good to know

Serve it with a simple side that complements the main ingredients, such as a salad, cooked vegetables, bread or rice where appropriate.
This version is designed to take about 35 minutes from start to finish, depending on your equipment and ingredient preparation.
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and use them according to local food-safety guidance.
