Mediterranean Chicken Recipe Tips:
- Start with organic chicken thighs, using high-quality meat, is always the best.
- Mediterranean dishes are all about using high-quality fresh produce, so make sure your veggies are as fresh as possible.
- Use fresh herbs, I used rosemary, you can also garnish the dish with fresh basil leaves.
- Don’t skip the capers, while not everyone will have some in the kitchen, these little guys add a ton of flavor.
- Use a mix of olives as they will add even more color and flavor to this dish. I used pitted kalamata olives for the bake and topped the dish with green and red olives.
- In the sauce, it’s key to use fresh lemon and orange juice and also don’t skip the zest. The bright and fresh aromas of the zest will make this dish shine.
- Liquid honey also works best in the sauce recipe.
- The recipe is highly customizable, for example, if you don’t like red onion, replace it with more red bell pepper or grape tomatoes, you get the idea.
