Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chicken thighs — Ensure that the chicken thighs are boneless and skinless for a leaner dish.
• Dried thyme and rosemary — If you prefer a stronger herb flavor, you can use fresh thyme and rosemary instead. Double the amount if using fresh herbs.

• Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice, such as eggplant or green beans.
• Serve the Pouteille with crusty bread or over a bed of cooked quinoa for a complete meal.
