For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. You may need to increase the cooking time.
A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper will enhance the flavors of the dish.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or over a bed of pasta or rice.
