In the oven now. I substituted chive for parsley based on what I had on hand, I understand the flavor will be quite different. Personally I find 2 tbsp of oregano to be a bit much.

Excellent recipe! I halved the oregano and crumbled feta cheese over the chicken just before serving, served with mustard mash potatoes. Yummy!!!
