Tangy Grilled Chicken Breasts
These juicy grilled chicken breasts are seasoned with a bright, tangy marinade that makes every bite delicious.
recipesbynani.comThis grilled chicken has been a staple in my kitchen for years. It is incredibly simple to prepare, but the mix of Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and savory herbs gives it a wonderful flavor that my whole family loves.
Since the marinade comes together in just a few minutes, this is the perfect meal for busy weeknights when you want something fresh. I always recommend letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing so the juices stay right where they belong.

Serve these breasts alongside some fresh grilled vegetables or a crisp side salad. If you have leftovers, slice them up to use in wraps, salads, or grain bowls the next day. You can store any extra cooked chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
