The dinner guests raved about this chicken, but I couldn't help but think they were just stroking my ego. It just wasn't that good. I am far from being a salt-aholic, but the marinade would have benefitted from the addition of some salt, imo... Or perhaps some salt directly on the chicken just before grilling. If I try this recipe again, that's one change I'll definitely make. -
This was pretty tasty. not totally to my family's tastes, but good, nonetheless. I served it with Recipe #29303 and Recipe #228793 for a great dinner that didn't heat up the kitchen with the oven. Chicken was also very good cold the next day! Thanks for posting! -
I have the same recipe except it has the addition of 6 fresh basil leaves and instead of lemon juice it has 1 tsp. red wine vinegar. -
This ia absolutely great! I had to make a couple of substitutions (ketchup for the tomato paste, onion powder for the shallot, dried herbs for the fresh). I would definitely recommend this recipe for anyone looking for something different. I also ended up making it on the stove instead of the grill. No problem at all. I served it with the Skillet Tortellini recipe which was a nice accompaniment. Lori J -
Nice simple recipe .. I felt the oregano was a tad overpowering, so I will reduce the amount next time .. thanks

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
