Yields: 6 servings       Prep: 1.5 hour

Ingredients

Citrus Dijon Marinade

  • 2 shallots, cut in half

  • 3 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

  • Directions

    1. In a large bowl, whisk shallots, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour into a glass 13x9-inch baking dish.

    2. Place chicken between two sheets of wax paper and pound to even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick. Add to marinade, scattering dill sprigs on top. Refrigerate 2-8 hours, turning once.
