4		Chicken breast
1/3	c	Lemon juice
1/3	c	Olive oil
		Salt & pepper to taste
1/3	c	Lemon juice
3	tb	Oregano, fresh or 1 t dried

INSTRUCTIONS

Several hours before serving-or the day before, if time allows, rub the
chicken pieces pieces with the garlic and place them in a deep china or
earthenware bowl. Combine marinade ingredients and the garlic clove and
pour over chicken.  Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken. Turn
chicken pieces occasionally. When ready to cook, preheat the broiler to its
highest setting. Arrange the chicken pieces on the broiler rack and baste
with a little of the melted butter mixture. (Reserve part of the basting
mixture to serve over the chicken when served.) Broil the chicken 3-4
inches from the heat for 5-8 minutes per side, basting often. Chicken is
done when juices run clear when pierced with a sharp knife. Remove to
serving platter, pour reserved basting mixture over the chicken breasts and
serve immediately. This is also good done on a BBQ.

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
