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.

    Worldliness & Respectable Sins

    I got Respectable Sins with a gift card from Christmas. I purposefully didn't read it all in one sitting...or even in one week...like I normally do. I'd heard wonderful things about it and wanted to take my time in it. I am glad I did. Some parts were more challenging/ convicting than others for me, but I got something out of each and every chapter. I don't know that Jerry Bridges said anything I hadn't already heard, but somehow I feel like I was more apt to receive it as I've been becoming more aware of my tendency to tolerate certain sins in my life. This coupled with my church walking through C.J. Mahaney's book, Worldliness , has brought on even more self examination in light of Biblical standards - and that is a great thing. Now that I'm done with that, what should I read?
