      Lemon, garlic and oregano are a classic Greek flavor combination. I doubled the lemon juice because it didn't look like enough liquid. I didn't have a grill, so I used a cast-iron grill pan in a 350F oven. It wasn't hot enough, so the chicken didn't brown; next time it needs a 450F oven and a longer preheat for the cast iron. Also, next time, I would probably add some grated lemon zest to the marinade for that extra lemon punch. Made for Pick-A-Chef Fall 2009.
