I really meant to marinate the chicken breasts before I left for work this morning, but I forgot. Sooooo...when I got home I basted the chicken with the marinade while I broiled, then poured the drippings over the chicken and served. Yumdiddlyicious! Thanks for a great recipe! -
Great chicken! I used all fresh herbs, marinated it overnight and threw it on the grill. It came out really moist and flavorful. I am going to try this with fish next! Thanks for the post! -
Delicious and tender chicken! I also did not marinate overnight and only had 2 lemons available..still came out delicious. Very easy to prepare. This one will definitely be a keeper.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
