Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves minced
3 Tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp ground mustard
1 Tbsp fresh dill or 1 tsp dill weed
½ Tbsp white rice vinegar
2 tsp honey
¼ teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or equal amount of chicken tenders

Instructions

In a gallon-sized freezer bag, add all of the ingredients except the chicken. Whisk everything together.
Add in the chicken, remove as much air as possible, and seal the bag. Knead the chicken in the bag to coat it in the marinade.
If using right after making, place in the fridge to marinate for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 12 hours. The longer the better for flavor. Discard the marinade and grill the chicken until fully cooked. Serves 4.
