Check product labels and cross-contact. ## First-cook checks and limits - The publisher lists 404 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported. - The source specifies skinless chicken but mentions skin-side down; this adaptation follows the ingredient state. Use the marinade thyme that is listed despite its omission from the source first step. - Source 10–15-minute marinade is additional to its published preparation and cooking times unless explicitly overlapped; this The total here is 40–45 minutes includes it. - Ingredient quantities are scaled from 6 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks. - Adapted from Christina Cherrier.
