Citrus and herbs are key Mediterranean flavors and great choices for spring. The marinade in this recipe can also be used on fish, veggies or as a salad dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- ¹⁄3 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons dry oregano
- 1 pound skinless and boneless chicken breast or thigh
Directions
Juice the lemon into a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, honey, salt and oregano. Whisk for 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Place the chicken into a large bowl and pour dressing on top. Mix by hand until each chicken piece is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove and mix again.
Place each chicken piece on a baking sheet and broil each side on high on the top shelf of the oven for about 4 minutes or until done. You can also grill the chicken over a medium flame for 3 minutes per side.
