  • Paprika 1 teaspoon

Notes

  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For moist reheated chicken, add a splash of chicken broth or water to the baking dish and cover with foil before warming in the oven.
  • Serve this flavorful chicken with roasted vegetables or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
  • For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
