Chicken Oreganata

Recipe #142288 | 55 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: justcallmetoni

I love the combination of lemon, garlic and oregano common in so many Greek recipes. Naturally, I had to save this one found on the Cooking Light website. Have not tried it yet but will do so soon.

    I didn't have greek oregano so I used plain oregano plus a little bit of greek spices. It's delicious. And I will try it on the bbq this summer. Thanks Toni Made for Zaar Star Game.

    Great combination of flavors. I paired it with Jovigirl's Farmer's Market Cucumber Salad, actually a potato salad with cucumbers and feta cheese, and my Vrasta Fasolakia Freska.

    I made this for my kids tonight. I did not have any, so I had to quiz them to come up with my review. They liked the chicken, but I could see one DD picking off the oregano, and the other one said it was good, but not her favorite. So, based on my observations, I am guessing 4*...btw...no one complained about the lemon.

    We enjoyed this dish very much. I only had 1 1/2 hours for the marinading only because I forgot it needed 3 hours. It was just right. The lemon wasn't to strong and the chicken was so tender. Very nice change fron bbq sauces or coatings.
