Notes

Store leftover Garlic Herb Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Fresh garlic gives the best flavor; feel free to adjust herbs to your preference and add heat with red pepper flakes if desired.
