In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke, mustard, pepper, and garlic powder.

Add the chicken to the bowl and turn it to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours. For best results, do not marinate for more than 4 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Take the chicken out of the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

Grill the chicken on the preheated grill until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
