Notes

Don't overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Marinate chicken and vegetables for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor. Experiment with different spices. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with chickpeas or tofu. Try variations like Greek, Mediterranean, or Spicy Chicken Pitas.
