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
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano (finely chopped)
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade for later use.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a zip-close bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them (excluding the reserved portion). Toss to coat well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat Your Grill: Heat your grill to medium and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Using tongs, place marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, brushing half of the reserved marinade on each piece during cooking.
- Finish Cooking: Continue grilling until fully cooked through (juices should run clear), about an additional 2-4 minutes after flipping.
- Serve: Remove from grill and serve immediately with fresh herbs and citrus wedges.

Keywords: For deeper flavors, marinate overnight if possible. Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Experiment with different herbs like basil or cilantro for varied flavor profiles.
