Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
• 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.33333334326744 cup lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Combine lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, red bell pepper, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade to use for basting. Place chicken breasts in the bowl and stir to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard the remaining marinade in the bowl. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
