Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 2 oranges
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or Herbs de Provence)

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk until blended. Reserve ¼ cup for later.
  2. In a bowl or zip-close bag, coat chicken with the marinade (excluding the reserved portion). Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  5. Let the chicken rest briefly before serving, garnished with fresh herbs and citrus wedges.
