For an even more intense Mediterranean flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or basil. Serve this delightful chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh Greek salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Marinating the chicken longer, even for a few hours in the refrigerator, will result in a more flavorful and tender dish.
