1/4 Cup + 1 Cup Lemon juice

1/4 Cup Dijon mustard

4 (6-8 Ounce) Boneless/skinless chicken breasts 

Special tools/utensils needed:

Charcoal or gas grill

Meat thermometer

Basting brush

Directions: 

1. Start the grill and pre-heat the grill to 375F.

2. While the grill is heating, place chicken breasts in a casserole dish and add 1 cup of lemon juice. Marinate the chicken in the lemon juice for at least 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Marinating time can be longer while the grill heats up.

3. While the chicken is marinating, combine in a bowl the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice and the Dijon mustard to make a slightly runny paste.

4. Place chicken breasts on the pre-heated grill.  Baste the top surface with lemon/mustard mixture.   Cook for about 7 1/2 minutes. Flip breasts and baste with remaining lemon/mustard mixture.  Cook for another 7 1/2 minutes. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165F.

5. Serve immediately.
