This easy grilled chicken recipe turns out juicy every time and works for anything—salads, sandwiches, or straight off the grill.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes minutes

Total Time 25 minutes minutes

Servings 4 servings

⅓ cup olive oil or vegetable oil¼ cup apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice2 tablespoons Italian seasoning2 teaspoons Kosher salt or to taste1 tablespoon black pepper1 tablespoon granulated sugar1 teaspoon garlic powder4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or freezer bag. Add the chicken and toss well to coat.

Cover or seal the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Preheat grill to medium high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Place chicken on the grill for 7 to 8 minutes. Flip over and cook for an additional 7 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F.

Transfer to a plate and let rest 3-5 minutes before slicing.

Chicken should be cooked to 165°F. I prefer to remove it from the heat at 162°F as the temperature will continue to rise as it rests.
This marinade can also be used on pork chops or chicken thighs.
Nutritional information includes 25% of the marinade, as the remainder is discarded.
Leftover chicken can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
