Description
A quick and flavorful Citrus Dijon Grilled Chicken recipe that balances tangy and savory with a hint of sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 orange
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place your chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 425°F).
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Place it on the grill grates and avoid touching it for 6-7 minutes.
- Flip and Grill: After 6-7 minutes, flip the chicken and grill for another 6-7 minutes, using a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- Rest Before Serving: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
