Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 to 2 pounds Chicken (breasts or thighs)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary (or dried)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 Lemon (juice and zest)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- Black pepper to taste
- Salt (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix the marinade in a bowl: Dijon, olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, pepper, and a little salt if desired.
- Coat the chicken well with the marinade and let it sit while the oven heats.
- Place chicken in a baking dish and pour any extra marinade over the top.

Notes
Pat the chicken dry before adding marinade for better adhesion. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
