6   Chicken breasts
1/2 cup 118mlRoditis wine
1/2 cup 118mlOlive oil
1/4 cup 59mlFreshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons 30mlDried oregano
1 teaspoon 5mlDried thyme
1 teaspoon 5mlDried basil
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt

Recipe Instructions

Rinse chicken and pat dry. In a large bowl, combine wine, oil, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts, cover and marinate overnight.

Cook on an outdoor grill, basting occasionally with remaining marinade. This can also be baked in a 350F oven for one hour, basting several times. Serve with a Greek salad and a loaf of crust bread.

Hints

NOTES: Bobbie's notes: I also used the marinade to marinate some Portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian in our party. I substituted Greek Retzina wine for the roditis. Everyone said it was moist and delicious.
