Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • Zest of 1 lemon, peeled or finely grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 to 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, depending on how spicy you like things
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed with the side of a large knife or minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, parsley, cilantro, basil or a combination, optional

Instruction

  • Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper together until the salt has dissolved. Stir in the garlic, lemon zest and herbs (if using). Refrigerate and use within 1 to 2 hours.
  • To marinate chicken, add the marinade and chicken to a resealable food-safe bag or container and marinate in the refrigerator. Since this is so flavorful, even 20 minutes will work wonders. We don’t recommend marinating more than a day in advance since the lemon in the marinade can cause the chicken to toughen.
