- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup gin
- 2 tsp chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- salt & freshly ground pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 whole skinless boneless chicken breasts
In a shallow dish, whisk together the lemon juice, gin, oregano, salt, sugar and pepper (to taste). Then add the oil in a stream, whisking.
Whisk the marinade until it is completely emulsified.
Add the chicken, coating it well, and let it marinade, covered and chilled, for 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it however you wish. I sear it on a cast iron grill and then pop it in the oven until cooked through.
emulsion n. A suspension of small globules of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix: an emulsion of oil in vinegar.
