Lemon garlic dijon marinade for chicken

This summer I'm all about the marinades. We'll be experimenting and sharing our favorites over the coming weeks, but this one was a knock out of the park.

My whole family loves recipes that involve mustard. I had a container of chicken thighs that needed flavoring and went on the hunt for a good recipe for a homemade marinade. I found one by Ina Garten that involved lemon and mustard (my two favorites!) but felt it needed a little tweaking.

I added garlic to the mix and would definitely consider some fresh thyme or basil next time, but the whole family devoured this recipe. Handyman Tim told me the chicken was "Outstanding" and that it might be the best chicken I've ever made.

Well there you go, then!

 

 

P.S. I served this with our new favorite potato salad the other night for dinner. They went excellently together! Get the recipe here.
