Easy Chicken Marinade

This is a great chicken marinade! Allow chicken to marinate for no longer than 4 hours, because the lemon juice will begin to cook the chicken. We made this Friday night while trying to enjoy the last bit of great weather we had been having here in OK. This paired great with the sweet potato fries recipe. Will said the marinade smelled fantastic while he put the chicken on the grill. More importantly is that Brock ate almost a whole piece by himself. Enjoy!


Ingredients
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke, mustard, pepper, and garlic powder. Place chicken in the bowl, and coat with the marinade. Cover, and allow chicken to marinate a maximum of 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill for high heat.
Oil grill grate. Discard marinade, and place chicken on grate. Cook 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.
