Notes

For best results, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C) for safety. These recipes are easily adaptable; feel free to adjust seasonings to your taste. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete low-calorie meal.
