Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 large garlic cloves, minced

  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning on the outside while still cooking the inside thoroughly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
