Here’s an easy recipe delivering bright, sunny Mediterranean flavors on a chilly November day. The only real time commitment is the marinating, which is important to the success of the dish.

I love juicy chicken thighs which don’t dry out as quickly as chicken breasts. You may switch the thighs for breasts, if you prefer.
