Description

This chicken marinade is easy to mix up for flavorful, tender, juicy grilled chicken with a beautiful caramel color. This recipe is a must-try for sure!

Ingredients

2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients.
2 Mix olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke, mustard, pepper, and garlic powder together in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
3 Place chicken in the bowl and turn to coat with marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours. For best results, do not marinate longer than 4 hours.
4 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
5 Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
6 Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7 Serve and enjoy!
