Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken, rinsed and cut into parts
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. fresh or dried oregano
  • 4 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves, removed from stems
  • 3 medium summer squash, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 medium tomatoes, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all ingredients for marinade: Olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Pour marinade mixture into a Ziplock bag, add chicken parts, seal bag and shake until chicken is thoroughly coated. Store in refrigerator for 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • Put chicken and marinade in a large bowl and add tomatoes, summer squash and onion. Mix together well.
  • Divide mixture into about 5 parts. Place onto sheets of aluminum foil and wrap tightly to create pouches. Don’t let the liquid leak out. Double wrap if needed.
  • Bake in the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. This is also delicious prepared on a covered grill, cooked for about 45 minutes on a medium heat (450, if you have a temperature gauge).
