Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
