Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Add lemon juice, dijon mustard and olive oil to a bowl with seasonings and mix thoroughly
  • Add chicken thighs to the bowl and coat with the marinade
  • Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill and marinate for at least 4 hours
  • When you are ready to grill, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high
  • Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off to avoid flames in the grill
  • Add the chicken thighs to hot grill or grill pan
  • Cook for about 4 minutes on each side on grill, 6 minutes each side on grill pan - you may need shorter or longer depending on the heat of your grill or stove - the best way to ensure your chicken is cooked through but still moist is to use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165F
  • Allow the chicken thighs to cool slightly and then slice and enjoy!
