Ingredients

1 ½-2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)

1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (or Herbs de Provence)

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Directions

Stir together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and pepper.

Combine chicken and marinade in a large resealable bag, press out excess air and seal the bag (alternately you can combine chicken and marinade in a bowl and cover tightly). Chill for 30 minutes.

Bake chicken at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear OR grilled over medium heat 6-10 minutes on each side until cooked through. *Pro Tip: Allow to cool for five minutes before cutting into the chicken so the juices don't drain and dry the chicken out.
