Recipe: Papadakis Taverna Marinated Lemon Chicken (using chicken breasts, Greek)

 PAPADAKIS TAVERNA MARINATED LEMON CHICKEN

2 cups Greek virgin olive oil
8 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 lemons, juiced
2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1/8 tsp ground white pepper
4 oz feta cheese, cut in 8 slices

TO MARINATE THE CHICKEN:
In a large pan place the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the oil. Spread the garlic on both sides of the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the chicken. Sprinkle on the oregano and white pepper.

Cover the pan and place it in the refrigerator. Marinate the chicken for 24 hours.

TO COOK THE CHICKEN:
Charbroil the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until it is done.

Brush the chicken with the marinade the entire time that you are cooking it (boil the marinade for a few minutes before using it for basting).

TO SERVE:
Place the broiled chicken on a large serving platter. Put a piece of feta cheese on top of each chicken breast.
