Crites Family Stuff

Description

A favorite recipe from when Jim and I were newlyweds. This makes a great meat substitute in Gyro sancwiches with yogurt sauce.
Jennifer Crites: This is the go to recipe for grilling chicken for our family. I use it with steaks as well.
Janette Johnson: This is one of my family's favorite marinades!

Ingredients for 12 servings

• 1 cup salad oil
• 2 cups lemon juice
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 tsp crushed oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• .25 tsp pepper
• 12 boneless chicken breasts

Alternate Recipe:

• 1 cup salad oil
• .5 cup red wine vinegar
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp oregano leaves
• .5 tsp salt
• .25 tsp pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 8 boneless chicken breasts

Steps

1. Combine ingredients except chicken. Pour marinade over chicken. Chill chicken in marinade for 4 hours or overnight. Broil approximately 25 minutes on skinless side and turn over and broil 15-20 minutes more on the other side. (But usually doesn't take that long.) Broil about 5-7 inches from heat. Brush occasionally with sauce. This can also be cooked by covering dish with foil and baking for about 1 hour. Use skinless chicken if baking. Serve over white steamed rice.
2. Alternate Recipe: Over the years this recipe has evolved. This is closer to the original recipe. Deb says that the first recipe listed above is what she created in her Weight Watcher days. Some family members have received and used one or the other. Both are wonderful and enjoyed!
