Grilled Chicken with Oregano, Cinnamon and Paprika

I made this for dinner last night - sorry, I forgot to take a picture - and it was awesome and super easy. Served it with white rice. Next time I make it I think I'll back the cinnamon off just a bit.



  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, shaved***


    • Whisk first 7 ingredients to blend in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add chicken to dish and turn to coat with marinade. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, turning occasionally. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

    Spray grill rack with nonstick spray; prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill chicken until cooked through, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes. Transfer to plates.

    ***I added two cloves of garlic (shaved paper thin) to the marinade and cooked the chicken in a skillet with a couple tablespoons of evoo instead of grilling it.

    Not Me! Monday

    Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn...
