Notes

- This is a great meal prep dinner. You can make the chicken advance and do shawarma bowls, pita wraps or even pizza
- Yes, you can use chicken thighs
- Usually with chicken that’s baked, the chicken can release a lot of water. In this case that didn’t happen because the chicken is cooked on such high heat
