This marinated chicken recipe is best cooked over the grill. The smokey flavors of the BBQ go very well with the marinade flavors.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard: The mustard adds a tangy robust flavor that pairs beautifully with the herbs.
- ¼ cup coriander cilantro, chopped: Fresh cilantro brings a bright, zesty note to the marinade.
- ¼ cup parsley chopped: Adds a touch of earthiness and freshness.
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil: The richness of olive oil helps to tenderize the chicken while adding depth of flavor.
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed: The acidity cuts through the richness and adds a fresh citrusy tang.
- 1 teaspoon Provence herbs: A mix of rosemary thyme, oregano, and marjoram brings a fragrant, herbal aroma to the dish.
- 2 teaspoons chili powder: Adds a subtle kick of heat that balances the flavors.
- 2 garlic cloves crushed: Garlic adds a warm, aromatic depth to the marinade.
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt: Enhances all the flavors in the marinade.
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper: Adds just the right amount of spice.
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds chicken thighs skinless and boneless: Chicken thighs are juicy and flavorful, perfect for grilling.
