There is nothing quite like a reliable grilled chicken recipe to save your weeknight dinner plans. This version uses a quick marinade that adds a lovely tang, ensuring your chicken stays tender and delicious every single time you fire up the grill.

I love keeping these on hand because they are so versatile. You can serve them hot off the grill with some fresh veggies or slice them up for quick lunches throughout the week. My top tip is to let the chicken sit at room temperature for ten minutes before cooking so it grills evenly.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken breasts into a large resealable bag or glass dish and pour the marinade over them.

  3. 3

    Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, though two hours is even better.

  4. 4

    Preheat your grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  5. 5

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.

  6. 6

    Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. 7

    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the juices stay inside.

💡 Tips

These chicken breasts taste great served alongside a crisp garden salad or roasted seasonal vegetables. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. They make excellent additions to lunchtime wraps or grain bowls.
