I've been wanting to try this recipe for awhile now. It appeals to me because it has just a few ingredients that I usually have on hand and doesn't require a lot of pre-planning like most marinades. (I love meals I can throw together quickly because I'm really not the organized type.) And, I get to use fresh herbs from my garden! I love that! Sure do hope this turns out to be a keeper. :)

Verdict: Bill and I both really enjoyed this chicken. It had a very subtle, almost delicate, flavor of lemon and herbs and was very moist. I think maybe next time I might use more of the fresh herbs to heighten the flavor a little bit. And, just for fun, I'll probably add a little lemon zest.
I love simple marinades too. I'm very excited for summer which is when I (and when I say, I...I mean Chris...) do all the grilling. I'll have to try this one. ;0)
ReplyDeleteYour dinner looks wonderful! I love this blog, you are quite the cook. I'm so sad that I hadn't taken the time to look at your other blogs before now. We have more in common that you might think. Have a great day.
