Instead of grilling, can you bake in oven? If so, what temperature do you recommend and how long? Thank you!
Elana says
Ashley, I haven’t tried that so not sure –if you experiment I hope you’ll share your results along with the cook time :-)
Aubrey says
Don’t know how I missed this recipe on the website, but I bought your book and found it there.
Your cookbook is FANTASTIC!
I measured out all the ingredients and prepped the chicken in the dish. My 4yr old and 5yr old sons did the rest. They felt so accomplished making the marinade and devoured the chicken after we grilled it. Your recipes taste delicious, are so healthy and easy enough to allow me to include my children in on the prep. So AWESOME!
Elana says
Aubrey, thanks so much for your kind words and glad to hear the cookbook is FANTASTIC and that you and your children are enjoying it :-)

WOW! This was SO good. I used a mixture of lime and lemon juice, so I added 1 T. of tequila (what? it reminded me of a margarita :p) I also used dried rosemary instead, and let it marinate in the fridge for 3.5 hours. SO Simple SO delicious. Elana, you’ve done it again!

Hi Elana, I know what a pantry is but my 7 year old daughter (she says she’s not 7, she’s 6 but she will be 7 soon!) wants to know why you call your blog Elana’s pantry. I’ve told her its because pantry is like a food store but she wants to hear from you :-). Thanks for your wonderful recipes – you’ve brought gluten-free alive for me!
