Broiled Chicken Oregano Recipe

Ingredients

* 2 chicken breasts

Marinade

* 1 1/2 tbsp fresh or 1 tbsp dried, oregano
* 1 1/2 tbsp fresh or 1 tbsp dried, thyme
* 1/2 garlic clove (quartered)
* 2 2/3 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 2/3 tablespoons lemon juice
* Salt and pepper (according to taste)

Basting Ingredients

* 2 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
* 2 2/3 tablespoons lemon juice

How to Make

* Rub the chicken pieces with the garlic and place them in a deep china bowl, several hours before serving or a day before.
* Combine marinade ingredients and the garlic clove and pour over chicken. Refrigerate the chicken in a closed bowl.
* Make sure you turn chicken pieces sporadically.
* Preheat the broiler to its highest setting when ready to cook.
* Grease the chicken pieces with some molten butter mixture and arrange those pieces in the broiler rack.
* Broil the chicken 3-4 inches from the heat for 5-8 minutes per side. Do not forget basting now and then. Remove from the broiler after it has been cooked properly and transfer to serving platter.

Pour remaining basting mixture over the chicken and serve right away. This dish can also be prepared on a bar-be-que.
