This is so good. I got it out of a magazine (Lady's Home Journal I think). Tonight I am going to try marinating a whole chicken with it. I did not have coriander so substituted cumin and also added a wad of fresh cilantro chopped. UPDATE 10/21/2011 It worked for the whole chicken but the marinade burned in the pan a little while it was baking. I cooked the chicken breast side down which made the breast meat very tender and juicy. It is definitely better on skinless chicken breasts on the BBQ because you get more of the marinade flavor.
Oregano Lime Chicken Marinade -(the way it was written in the magazine)
In a ziplock bag combine
1/3 cup Olive Oil
Zest from 1 lime
1/4c lime juice (I use whatever amount I get out of the lime from squeezing it after I zest the peel)
1tsp dried oregano
1tsp ground coriander
1/4tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp salt
Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, seal the ziplock and chill 1-4 hours
Also good on steak and I will be trying it soon on salmon.
