Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Rinse the chicken breasts, pat them dry, and place them in a plastic bag. Then, place the bag in a shallow dish. |
| 2 | Prepare the marinade by combining lemon juice concentrate, brown mustard, sugar, and olive oil in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally to evenly distribute the marinade. |
| 3 | After marinating, drain the chicken, but be sure to reserve the marinade for later use. |
| 4 | For broiling: Preheat the broiler and place the chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan, positioning it 4 to 5 inches from the heat source. Broil for 12 to 15 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through the cooking process. Brush the chicken occasionally with some of the reserved marinade during the first half of cooking. |
| 5 | For grilling: Alternatively, you can grill the chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink, turning it once halfway through the cooking process. Brush the chicken occasionally with the reserved marinade. |
| 6 | To serve, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan, then cover and boil for 1 minute. Serve the boiled marinade over the cooked chicken to add an extra burst of flavor. |
