Grilled lemon chicken makes a great summer meal paired with rice and a salad. The chicken only needs to marinate for 20 minutes.
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).
