Island chicken

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp. lemon juice (orange juice worked wonderfully if you don't have lemon juice)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2-4 chicken breasts

Preparation

Step 1

1- Combine all ingredients except chicken in a mixing bowl or large airtight plastic bag. Whisk or shake well until the marinade is well mixed.
2- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl or plastic bag so that they are covered by the marinade. If using a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap. If using a plastic bag, press out all the excess air and seal the bag tightly. Refrigerate and marinate up to 10 hours.
3- When ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 350° F. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the excess marinade over them.
4- Bake in the oven until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165° F, about 20-45 minutes (exact baking time will depend on the size of your chicken pieces.) Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
