This is really a good marinade. I use less oil, slightly more lemon, omit the paprika. I add cilantro and green onions and put it in a blender. Good stuff!

Nice flavor. Froze the chicken and marinade together, and it defrosted wonderfully. Served with Classic Greek Salad for a quick, light meal.

So far this is the best marinade I have come across. Chicken had a great taste and would still go with pretty much any side dish! Definite Keeper!

We eat a lot of chicken in my family and this is by far the best recipe! My husband LOVES it and asks me to make it all the time. I shared the recipe with my mother-in-law and we ate it at Christmas. The whole family loved it! There were no leftovers of this kind of chicken. =)

I prepared and marinated the chicken while I went Christmas shopping then grilled it on my George Foreman grill. Quick, easy and delicious. Wouldn't change a thing. I am adding this to my family's list of favorites right now. We have taken to eating it with feta cheese over greens as a salad. Perfection.

Great recipe! I used a whole bag of frozen chicken breasts, made the marinade with extra lemon juice and garlic and coarse sea salt, and let it defrost/marinate in the bag, flipping in once in awhile. Grilled it as directed - even my PICKY kids ate it. Leftovers were wonderful on salad next day.

LOVE this recipe!!! I followed many of the previous reviewers advice (especially Cloverdale1's) and these are my final changes: only 1/2 cup olive oil juice of 3 medium lemons 2 tablespoons minced garlic NO paprika (just b/c I don't have any) 1 teasp. of crushed basil 1 teasp. of crushed oregano 1/4 teasp. cayenne pepper 1/4 teasp. crushed red pepper Kept salt, and black pepper the same.... I am not a good planner, and I like easy cooking, so I only marinate about an hour to an hour and 1/2. Then I just put in the the broiler instead of grilling. As you can tell, I like it spicy. Even in the broiler, this recipe kept the chicken perfectly cooked and MOIST. YUMMY!!!! My husband and 13 year old LOVED IT, and said they want this one a lot, which is great b/c it's so easy...

Its a keeper! I have four kids under the age of 10 who can be very picky...I kept quiet and watched them and none of them gave it to the dog under the table, that means they liked it. Great with garlic bread. I did'nt have fresh lemon or fresh garlic. I look forward to it next time with fresh ingredients. Thanks.

A simple, tasty recipe and it does what it says! I usually have difficulty keeping chicken breast filets moist but this worked like a charm, even though I only marinated 30 min! Other modifications: used 5/6 (1/2 + 1/3) tsp fried chicken seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt and no paprika. Also, I cut the chicken breast filets in half since the time to marinate was so short.

This was the best grilled chicken recipe I have found!! I do not grill chicken because it comes out too dry. This recipe has changed that! Thank you. I followed others' advice about using 1/2 cup oil and doubling the lemon juice. I reserved some of the mixture and used it for asparagus. I left the asparagus in the marinade for an hour and then threw it on the top grate of the grill while the chicken was cooking. Excellent!

I thought that this chicken was very good. It had a nice light lemony tang but was not overpowering and would probably taste great over a salad. My husband thought that it was just ok.

It tasted okay but very expensive to make (1 cup of olive oil for 4 chicken breast can add up-especially if you use good olive oil like I do)

I personally loved this, my husband would have given it a 2 star, but that's because it didn't have cheese ;-). I thought it was extremely good, and will make it again.

This is super easy and tastes great! I love the tang of the lemon juice on the chicken. I followed previous advice to add a bit of thyme...and I threw in a bunch more garlic because we love spicier food. It was very juicy and had lots of flavor. Will totally make this again. Grilled it outside in 15 degree winter, too!

I used the changes another person suggested with 3 times the garlic and lemon and 1/2 of the oil. I only marinated for 45 minutes and basted the chicken and some yellow squash with the marinade . Wonderful! My 3-year-old son is extremely picky and he was shoving this chicken into his mouth. This is a boy who will only eat a few bites at the most and he ate more than half a piece of chicken. Thank you for a great new recipe!!

I have made this many, many times but I half the oil, triple the garlic and lemon and add a little thyme and oregano, and rosemary so moist and tangy with the extra lemon garlic and the smell while grilling amazing. I made this for father’s day and it was a big hit this time I added a 1/4 tsp. of cayenne pepper. Really good on lamb chops too. I am giving the 5 ***** to the recipe with the added lemon juice and garlic and extra herbs. As far as I am concerned you can never have too much garlic.
