Lemon-Garlic Dijon Grilled Chicken
Lemon-Garlic Dijon Grilled Chicken brings bright citrus and a gentle tang from mustard, balanced by smoky char from the grill and a savory garlic finish. It’s juicy and light, ideal for warm-weather dinners or backyard cookouts, and pairs well with simple sides like grilled vegetables or a crisp salad. The quick marinade lets the flavors shine without overpowering the chicken.
