Jo's Chicken Marinade

Once a month my friend Joanne hosts our book club. A group of smart, strong and sassy ladies, who I love spending time with. Our book clubs are always based on FOOD and every month Jo outdoes herself. She has a restaurant background, as do a few of our members, and it's always fun to think of new and delicious things to make. Last month, Jo made this chicken that was out of this world.... Like...Y.U.M. I begged her to send me the recipe and since then, I've made it twice. Both times my husband and my girls gobbled it up raving about how good it was. At my house we call it Jo's Chicken. It's super easy to make and super delicious. Enjoy!
