Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the olive oil and onion soup mix for an hour before cooking. You can substitute the vegetables based on your preference; bell peppers and zucchini work well too. If you prefer a crispier texture, increase the baking time slightly and use a convection setting if available.
