Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup canola oil
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mix canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Place chicken breasts into the bag, seal, and squeeze bag with your fingers several times to coat chicken with marinade. Place a second resealable bag over the first and seal to prevent leaks. Refrigerate chicken for 2 to 4 hours.

Step 3

Remove chicken breasts from bag; discard used marinade. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 minutes per side.
