Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 lb chicken thighs, skinless Provides juiciness and flavor; thighs are less likely to dry out than breasts.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness to the dish; can be substituted with vegetable oil if needed.
  • 1 onion Introduces sweetness; shallots make a great milder substitute.
  • 3 cloves garlic Imparts aromatic depth; use garlic powder (¼ teaspoon per clove) if fresh is unavailable.
  • 2 bell peppers, red or green Adds color and sweetness; zucchini works just as well if preferred.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes Provides moisture and acidity.
  • 1 cup feta cheese Delivers creamy tanginess; can be swapped with goat cheese.
  • 1 teaspoon oregano Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon thyme Complements Mediterranean flavors beautifully.
