I can't tell you much about this recipe, because it's actually a Ryan creation that he invented while I was in Seattle. Being the excellent husband-to-a-food-blogger that he is, he took photos of it while I was gone AND graciously dictated the steps he took to make this. Both he and Julia loved this chicken and he's already promised to make it again sometime for me. Just looking at the pictures makes me hungry...maybe the wrong McLaury has a food blog! ;)(By the way, that other thing on the plate is another one of his creations. He sauteed some green apples and onions then stuffed it in a pita pocket, added cheddar cheese, and toasted it in the toaster oven until the cheese was nice and melty. He and Julia also had good things to say about this unconventional side dish!)

3. Place each chicken breast in a bowl and cover generously with marinade. Allow to sit and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
