Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup Orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts boneless and skinless

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken
