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.
