Chicken Marinade

In anticipation of making chicken parmesana, I marinaded chicken breasts using the recipe below. The chicken was excellent, very moist and flavorful. Give this a try!

For 1 pound of chicken:

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
A pinch of sugar

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate in refrigerator for 6 hours.
