I made this recipe for myself last night and it was so delicious that I am making it again tonight for my husband. My grill was out of gas, so I sauteed the chicken in a pan in the marinade. It turned out crispy and yummy! Very easy to make and had all the ingredients! Will definately make this again!
SO tangy and zesty. My kids loved it!Marinated for an hour. Then I baked it in the oven, with juice, and it made it very moist. Also, I topped with crumbled feta cheese during the last 10 minutes. Steamed broccoli to eat with it. DELICIOUS!
Good, but wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be... Next time I'll marinate it for longer than 20 minutes.
This was the best chicken ever! I wished we had made more and we will definitely be making it again. We only marinated for 30 minutes, it is important to remember that with an acid based marinade (lemon is an acid) going over an hour will make chicken tough!!
Great flavors - and so easy! I was worried - because dinner plans changed, so the chicken ended up being marinated over 24 hrs (we ate it the next night), but the flavor was great! Everyone enjoyed it! Thank you!
FANTASTIC! I only had time to marinade for 20 minutes and it was still great. I also used some of the marinade on zucchini and grilled it.
Very good, I pounded the chicken down a bit and I left out the red pepper. I put everything into a zip loc bag and let it marinate all day. The dijon definitely overpowered the lemon, but it was tangy and delicious.
My whole family loved it!!! Very flavorfull and so easy. Will make again and again!
It had a decent lemon flavor but the dijon mustard was so overpowering. I gave it an extra star because it was so easy but I won't be making this again. Thanks anyway!
Very easy to make. The flavor is very good for such little time marinating, I was impressed. I will most definately be making this one again, it can be made on a whim and still taste great.
This chicken turned out so moist and flavorful. I read many reviews that said they did not have a red bell pepper, and therefore did not include it. I'm sure it tastes delicious both ways, but in my opinion, using the finely chopped red bell pepper adds so much flavor! I couldn't imagine this dish without it (maybe it's b/c I purposefully spooned on a plentiful amount when I put the extra mixture over the chicken). Either way, this was a definite hit in my house and I will be making again! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutly devine. Marinated x 1hr. and added some lemon zest to marinade. This chicken is amazing!
I made this for my husband and I. I adjusted the recipe as I was missing some ingredients. Is used regular mustard at the same quantity and I used added some hot sauce instead of the red peppers. Marinated drumsticks with out skin for about 4 hours and it turned out great on the grill. Will be making this again.
Very, very good. My kids loved it. Always looking for another way to grill chicken. Thanks for a good one!
Been through hundreds of lemon-based chicken marinades over the past few months. This was objectively the tastiest.
I don't eat meat but I marinated this for my fiancee and he cooked it and LOVED it. Thanks!
