People love our lemon chicken.
It remains one of the most popluar items on our menu.
Chicken is a low-fat source of protein, and this recipe makes chicken as delicious as it is healthful.
It goes well with steamed vegetables, salads, or brown rice.

Ingredients
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup water
3 tsp dried oregano
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 5 ounces each
1 large lemon, cut into 12 thin slices

Directions
In a large nonreactive bowl, stir together the lemon juice, water, and oregano.
Add the chicken breast, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
Light the grill or preheat the broiler.
Lift the chicken from the marinade and let the marinade drip off the meat.
Lay the chicken breast on the grill or in a broiling pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Serve each chicken breast with 2 slices of lemon.
