Description

A five minute marinade made with fresh lemon and sharp Dijon that turns plain chicken into something juicy and delicious. It tenderizes the chicken while it sits, and since it keeps in the fridge or freezer, a better dinner is always half-done and waiting for you.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 3 large lemons
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.

  2. Use marinade right away or store in the fridge for up to 7 days, or the freezer for up to 3 months.
