Now that the weather is warming up, here’s a lovely and quick marinade that’s great on barbecued chicken. This is a quick go-to dinner after work that I usually serve with a salad and rice.
2 tbsp
lemon juice
2 tbsp
canola oil
1 tbsp
Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp
ground pepper
1 lb
chicken (breasts or thighs)
Mix all ingredients together.
Marinate your chicken. I usually marinate the chicken breasts or thighs for 1-2 hours but even if you only have ½ an hour to marinate your chicken, you’ll still have lots of flavour.
Grill on med-high heat for about 20 minutes (turning once) or until no trace of pink remains. Enjoy!
