Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic pressed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Cut chicken breast pieces in 2 or 3 pieces, if they are very large, making diagonal cuts to keep pieces an even thickness. Trim visible fat and tendons. The resulting chicken breast pieces will be about 4 ounces each.
- Whisk remaining ingredients in a medium bowl to combine. Add chicken pieces and press down so chicken pieces are covered with marinade. Allow chicken to marinate at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Heat a stovetop grill pan, frying pan, or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Remove chicken pieces from marinade and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center. If using an instant-read meat thermometer, cook to an internal temperature of 160-170 degrees F.
- Remove chicken from heat and serve with additional lemon wedges for garnish (optional).
