This recipe is from the Epicurious app on my iPad.  I absolutely LOVE this app!  It has tons of great recipes from all over the place – books, web, magazines.  I picked this recipe because I have been growing oregano in my herb garden and had some chicken legs in the freezer. I also go to use my microplane to zest the lemon.

This was a really quick marindate to throw together.  I let the chicken sit in the refrigerator overnight (as I do with almost all my meat).  We had experimented on cooking time with our Chipotle Chicken Legs, so cooking was a breeze this time.  The chicken was tender and juicy and had fantastic flavor!  I served it with some easy roasted Greek potoatoes.

  1. I can't help but notice you eat a lot of baby lima beans. What do you do to them that makes them so delectable?

    My favorite side dish is a big pan of roasted veggies (squash, zucchini, bell pepper and onion) seasoned with olive oil and seasoning salt then mixed with Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Long Grain and Wild and some slivered almonds. I found the recipe somewhere online and it is so quick and easy!

    WDE!
