Lemon Lime Herb Chicken

I am tired of the same old chicken on the grill.  It gets so boring.  I brought back some Herbs de Provence on a recent trip to Nice, France and hoped that they would bring some hope to my chicken and it did.  With the addition of some citrus flavors, I made a great dinner that was bright, fresh and perfect for the summer.  The marinade here can be used to bone in chicken or even a whole chicken.

Ingredients:

6 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, thighs or a combination
3 lemons, juiced
3 limes, juiced
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 TBS Dijon mustard
1 TBs Herbs de Provence
5 cloves of garlic, finely minced or pput through a press
1 TBS salt
1/2 TBS fresh pepper

Here's how:

Combine all of the ingredients into a zip top bag, except the chicken.  Whisk to combine.
Lemons and limes

Herbs

Everything in the bag
Mixed up and ready for the chicken
 Add the chicken and let marinate at least 4 hours.

Heat the grill.

Place the chicken and grill the pieces 5 minutes per side or until done.  This depends upon the thickness of the meat.

Remove and enjoy.
