Instructions:

1. Begin by snipping the skin off the chicken pieces, ensuring a perfect canvas for our Mediterranean magic.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients, except for the butter and bell peppers. Let the aromatic blend tantalize your senses.
3. Dip each chicken piece in the melted butter, coating it generously with the herb and cheese mixture. Ensure an even and flavorful embrace for each morsel.
4. Arrange the coated chicken in a large, shallow, buttered baking dish, allowing ample space between pieces. For efficiency, consider placing the breast meat on a separate dish, as it cooks faster.
5. Nestle the vibrant bell pepper slices among the chicken pieces, adding a burst of color and freshness to the ensemble.
6. Bake in a preheated moderate oven at 350 degrees Celsius for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Keep a watchful eye, especially if you have a fan oven; the chicken is done when it achieves the desired golden brown perfection.
7. As the savory aroma fills your kitchen, rejoice in the anticipation of a culinary masterpiece. Once achieved, promptly remove the dish from the oven.
8. For the final touch, trim your Mediterranean Chicken creation with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, enhancing both the visual appeal and the herbaceous notes of the dish.
