Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, turning to coat evenly.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Remove chicken from marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Grill chicken over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side for breasts.
Tips
- For best results, marinate chicken for 2-4 hours.
- Reserve a small amount of marinade before adding chicken to use as a basting sauce during grilling (boil first if using).
- This marinade also works well with pork or tofu.
