This recipe features very well as a main with classic sides such as mashed potatoes with olive oil, roast onions or even a polenta mash. This chicken dish is a great base for other dishes such as shredded to make in salads, pastas and sandwiches. You can use chicken thighs with skin on to achieve a juicier chicken.
