Ingredients
  

  • 6 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons grainy mustard
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 juice of one lime
  • 1/2 juice of 1/2 large lemon
  • 6 tablespoons oil
  • freshly ground pepper to taste
  • lemon slices to garnish

Method
 

  1. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry.
  2. Mix garlic, salt, sugar, mustard, vinegar, lime and lemon juices. Blend well. Whisk in oil and pepper. Pour over chicken in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
  3. One hour before serving, bring to room temperature.
  4. Grill breasts 4 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook as this toughens the meat.
