4 chicken breast
1 garlic clove, quartered
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup oil, olive
3 tbsp oregano, fresh or 1 tbsp dr
5 tbsp butter, melted
1/3 cup lemon juice
Directions
Several hours before serving-or the day before, if time allows, rub
the chicken pieces pieces with the garlic and place them in a deep
china or earthenware bowl. Combine marinade ingredients and the
garlic clove and pour over chicken. Cover the bowl and refrigerate
the chicken. Turn chicken pieces occasionally. When ready to cook,
preheat the broiler to its highest setting. Arrange the chicken
pieces on the broiler rack and baste with a little of the melted
butter mixture. (Reserve part of the basting mixture to serve over
the chicken when served.) Broil the chicken 3-4 inches from the heat
for 5-8 minutes per side, basting often. Chicken is done when juices
run clear when pierced with a sharp knife. Remove to serving platter,
pour reserved basting mixture over the chicken breasts and serve
immediately. This is also good done on a BBQ. Source: CRS file

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of better eduction, more free time and disposable income. |
