From the Test Kitchen

Marjoram looks so much like oregano that the two are often mistaken for one another. However, as a member of the mint family, marjoram’s flavor is slightly sweeter and more delicate than oregano’s. The ancient Greeks believed it was Aphrodite’s (the goddess of love) favorite herb. As a symbol of matrimonial bliss, sprigs of it were woven into wreaths worn by brides and grooms.

Using a knife, cut the crust off the bread boule, then cut the bread into bitesized cubes or chunks.

3 Cook the chicken:
In a large pan, heat a little olive oil on medium until hot. Add the marjoram-garlic chicken, skin side down, and cook 9 to 11 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. To speed up the cooking and prevent splattering, loosely cover the chicken with foil.
