Notes

You can use chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breast instead of chicken thighs. Cooking time will be different, but internal temp for safe consumption of chicken is always 165°F.
Veggie swaps or add-ins can include sliced bell peppers, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, or chopped artichoke hearts.
