Ingredients:

• 2 shallots (minced)
• 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
• 3 lemons (zested and juiced)
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste
• 2 wide-mouth pint Mason jars

How to make it:

1. Combine and mix all ingredients in one pint-sized Mason jar.
2. Transfer half the marinade into a second jar.
3. Add a chicken breast (or other protein) to each jar.
4. Seal tightly and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
5. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling.

Grilling tips: Marinate overnight for deeper flavor, bring meat to room temperature before grilling, and reserve a little marinade (before it touches raw meat) to brush on while grilling.

Pairs well with: Grilled vegetables, summer salads, roasted potatoes. Store leftover marinade in the fridge up to 3 days.
