Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 ea Chicken breast
1 ea Garlic clove -- quartered
1 x ----marinade----
1/3 c Lemon juice
1/3 c Olive oil
1 x Salt & pepper to taste
3 T Oregano -- fresh or 1 tbsp dr
1 x ----basting ingredients----
5 T Butter -- melted
1/3 c Lemon juice
3 T Oregano -- fresh or 1 tbsp dr

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.
