Grilled Lemon Chicken
Description
Grilled lemon chicken, basted with a fresh lemon, garlic, and mustard marinade is quick and easy to make for a deliciously easy summer meal.
Ingredients
•
1/3 cup lemon juice
•
1/4 cup olive oil
•
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
•
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions
1
Combine lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, red bell pepper, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade to use for basting. Place chicken breasts in the bowl and stir to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard the remaining marinade in the bowl. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
