Note: My friends Dan & Steve sent me this recipe. The chicken comes out slightly tangy with a nice lemon taste, the other spices are very mild. The original called for 1/4 tsp ground clove, but I did not have any, and it was still very good. The chicken can probably be baked in the oven also, but I like as little mess as possible so I make Paul grill everything I can, all year round!

This recipe is wonderful because I make it the day before, in one bag-no mess, well I did have to clean the chicken. I used air chilled breast.

This could be served on greek salad with feta, or served with quinoa or couscous. Some greek olives maybe nice too, or maybe some dolma.
