Description
A zesty and flavorful grilled chicken dish with a tangy citrus marinade, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme, for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, orange juice, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
- Grill the chicken: Remove marinated chicken from the bowl, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place chicken on the grill, cooking for 5-7 minutes without flipping.
- Flip and glaze: After 7 minutes, flip the chicken. Brush with additional marinade and grill for another 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve and garnish with fresh herbs.
Notes
For added flavor, let the chicken marinate longer (up to 4 hours or overnight). Serve with grilled veggies or a fresh salad.
