For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade. If you don't have fresh garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder can be substituted. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal. For extra flavor, add lemon slices to the grill while cooking the chicken, it will add a nice aroma and the caramelized lemon will pair well with the chicken.
