Notes

Chicken: If you prefer, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
Olives: While green olives are traditionally used, you can experiment with black olives or even stuffed olives for a unique twist.
Ground Cumin: If you don’t have ground cumin, you can substitute it with ground coriander for a different but equally delicious flavor profile.
Paprika: Smoked paprika can be used instead of regular paprika to add a smoky dimension to the dish.
Fresh Lemon: If you don’t have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch, but fresh lemon wedges will always add an extra touch.
