Chesapeake Greek Chicken

presvicki's Note:

Here is one from my "Theo" in Maryland. It is great grilled but can be done in the oven too!

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 -6 chicken breasts (bone-in or boneless- your choice)
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 1 tablespoon oregano, crushed (Greek Oregano preferred)
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Mix lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, and Old Bay together until well blended. Place Chicken is a ziptop bag and pour marinade over it. Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours (overnight is best!). Before baking, salt and pepper the meat to taste. Grill Chicken until internal temp is 160 degrees F.
2. Great to serve over a Greek Salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, feta cheese and olives with Greek Dressing).

Wow - this is just terrific chicken!! Moist and tender with such great flavor. I marinated mine overnight and the chicken grilled up so juicy. This is a real keeper - thanks for posting your recipe! Made fof Spring PAC 2009
