Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup good olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts, bone-in and skin-on
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Set aside.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour half the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half to use later. Allow the chicken to marinade for at least two hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the remaining marinade over the top of the chicken. Cover the dish with aluminium foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

What a simple, and delicious marinade for chicken!! I did boneless,skinless breasts and let them marinade overnight. We grilled them and they were so juicy and the flavor of the meat was outstanding! Will be using this recipe regularly on my chicken.

Excellent....with a few tweaks! First, I seasoned my chicken with all purpose seasoning, garlic and onion salts. Next, I used 1/4 cup each of lemon and orange juice. I also used this recipe for 6 rather than 2 breasts, reserving approximately 1/4 cup for additional basting during cook time. Last, I grilled the breasts on an outdoor charcoal pit. It was a hit with my entire family! I will definitely use this one again.
