Garlic And Oregano Marinated Chicken With Roasted Pepper And Black Olive Relish With Saffron Tomato Rice Recipes

ROSEMARY OREGANO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder and pepper.
• Add chicken and turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Pour chicken and marinade into a large baking pan.
• Bake at 400 degrees for one hour or until chicken is nicely browned and juices run clear.
• For this recipe, boneless chicken breasts can also be substituted. Cut the baking time to 30-35 minutes.

LEMON CHICKEN OREGANO

Steps:

• Mix lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken to the bag, coat with the marinade, and squeeze air from the bag before sealing. Refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook chicken on hot grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GARLIC MARINATED ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rub the chicken inside and out with the minced garlic.
