CHICKEN OREGANATA
Adopted! Original poster comments: This chicken recipe has a Greek flavor to it without being overly spicy. It would also work with chicken breasts or other parts. My comments: I am reworking this recipe to be more in line with what I would expect from an oreganata. I will continue to tweak it until I really like everything about it. Still needs some work, IMO.
