I found this recipe on the Good Seasons Italian Dressing envelope and have used for years. It makes the chicken taste wonderful.

I tried this with chicken breast halves. Gave them a nice suble flavor. Next time I want to try it with shrimp. I marinated the chicken breasts for three hours.

Best marinade I ever had. I used chicken, but will use it for other meats and vegetables. I left out the lemon peel and added l Tbs. minced garlic in olive oil. I have given this recipe to all my friends.
