Prep time:

A lot of the flavor in this recipe comes from a little high-quality olive oil. If you don't use much olive oil, buy and store a small bottle in the refrigerator to ensure maximum freshness.

Save cleanup time by combining the chicken and all the marinade ingredients in step 1 in a resealable plastic bag. Simply discard the bag and leftover marinade after removing the chicken for cooking.

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Roast an extra garlic head and use the softened garlic as a spread instead of butter. Roasted garlic makes a great topping for hot slices of crusty French bread. It's a richly flavored treat that is nearly fat free.
