This was a very good marinade for our chicken breasts.I cut the quantity way down since it was just for 2 breasts and I wasn't sure but I'll be making this one again! Made for PAC Spring 2012.

This marinade is incredibly flavorful. I have used it with chicken, pork loin and as a salad dressing. I almost always have a batch in the fridge - I will never make another marinade again.

I've been making this for years ever since it was published in Bon Appetit in 2001. It is excellent with pork, chicken, shrimp and fish.
