For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken with the olive oil, lemon juice, and spices for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, in the refrigerator. Consider adding a handful of roughly chopped red onion and a few cloves of garlic to the baking dish for additional aromatics. Serve with roasted potatoes, a Greek salad, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious pan juices.
