Description
A simple grilled lemon chicken with a tangy Dijon marinade that comes together in minutes and delivers every single time.
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
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
- Cover and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
- Preheat the grill to medium/high heat. Once preheated, spray the grill with high heat cooking spray and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side per inch of thickness. If the chicken is much thinner it may only need a few minutes on each side, if it’s very thick it may need more time.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
