Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

Step 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.

Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 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).
