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.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon dried Greek oregano
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 8)
cooking spray
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1
Combine lemon juice, oil, garlic and oregano in a sealable plastic bag. Add chicken, close and shake. Marinate in refrigerator 3 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
2
Preheat oven to 350°.
3
Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Place chicken in a single layer in a roasting pan coated with cooking spray.
4
Season with salt and pepper.
5
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until chicken is done. Juices will run clear.

Great flavor. I use B/S chicken breasts, and only about 1/4 c. lemon juice. I never marinate overnight as the lemon tends to turn the chicken a bit mushy. I also like to use this recipe for OAMC, but I don't add the lemon juice until the chicken is thawing to prevent mushiness. Thanks for sharing. Diane

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.

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.
