  Boneless breast won’t be as satiating as the thigh. The fat in the thigh also keeps is moist and won’t leave you hungry in an hour if it balances the protein and fat be high protein/ low fat.

  Great idea! I prefer thighs, but husband prefers legs, so we just buy whichever one is on sale

This dish has very good flavor. I love lemon and chicken. I doubled the marinade and added a can of artichoke hearts, 2 chopped tomatoes and a handful of olives for color. It was very good!

I made this last night and thought it was pretty good. I used 6 pieces of chicken and doubled the marinade. Also used dry herbs instead of fresh. Pretty easy and I would definitely make it again.

Thought the marinade would make it more flavorful but not so much. It’s OK but there is no way it’s going to cook thoroughly in the time indicated.
