Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- 1 clove Garlic minced
Instructions
- Whip up the healthy marinade: In a bowl or a resealable bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon pepper seasoning, and minced garlic. Mix it all well!
- Give your chicken a flavor bath: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Pop it in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 2 hours for the best flavor.
- Heat things up: Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat, aiming for about 375-400°F (190-205°C).
- Grill to perfection: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off (discard the leftover marinade). Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C) – a meat thermometer is your best friend here!
- Rest for juiciness: Once cooked, take the chicken off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This important step keeps your chicken wonderfully juicy and tender! Serve your delicious, healthy grilled chicken and enjoy!
Notes
Allowing the chicken to rest after grilling is crucial for juicy and tender results. Feel free to adjust the marinating time to your preference, from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
