Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. (5 minutes)
For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the dressing mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, in the refrigerator before baking.
Adjust the amount of salsa to control the level of spiciness. For a milder flavor, use a mild salsa or reduce the quantity.
Fresh thyme can be substituted for dried thyme; use 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme for every 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
Serve with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
