Grilled Lemon Mustard Chicken

This Grilled Lemon Mustard Chicken with a no-oil marinade surprisingly turns out a very tender and moist chicken! I like to pound out the breasts a little bit so they’re thinner and more even, and they don’t take as long to cook on the grill.

If you’re on the Weight Watchers plan, this chicken counts as ZERO Weight Watchers SmartPoints! It’s perfect for adding to salads.
