Broiled Chicken Oregano
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
1 garlic clove; quartered
Marinade:
1/3 C. lemon juice
1/3 C. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbsp. oregano
Basting Ingredients:
5 Tbsp. butter; melted
1/3 C. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. oregano
Cooking Instructions
Rub the chicken pieces with the garlic and place them in a deep china or earthenware bowl. Combine marinade ingredients and the garlic clove and pour over chicken. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken for a day. Turn chicken pieces occasionally. When ready to cook, pre-heat the broiler to its highest setting. Arrange the chicken pieces on the broiler rack and baste with a little of the melted butter mixture. (Reserve part of the basting mixture to serve over the chicken when served.) Broil the chicken 3-4 inches from the heat for 5-8 minutes per side, basting often. Chicken is done when juices run clear when pierced with a sharp knife. Remove to serving platter, pour reserved basting mixture over the chicken breasts and serve immediately.
