Food 4 Thought
Judaism teaches that the moment of eating is actually a very important moment, not just physically for our bodies, but spiritually as well. The Kabbalah teaches that the food we eat is “home” to many holy sparks spread around the world and, consequently, each time we eat we have the opportunity to elevate the sparks and thereby participate in fixing the world.

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.
  • Broil chicken pieces, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork.
  • Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on.
  • Make the sauce by whisking together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
  • Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
  • Place chicken on serving platter. Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.
