MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN MARINADE



Mediterranean Chicken Marinade image

This is a yummy, flavorful marinade that livens up bland chicken dinners. However, this could also be used on pork chops, fish and turkey! I made this with brown rice and used some of the unused marinade as a sauce to pour over the rice. DELICIOUS!!!
