Such a fresh, bright citrusy flavoured marinade keeping moisture locked into these barbecued chicken breasts.

1 tsp grainy mustard

1 tsp dry oregano

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp dry minced onion

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

 

Place chicken in a plastic bag or between 2 sheets of waxed paper and roll out to even the thickness of the breasts to about 3/4".
