I used to make a similar recipe like this when I was younger...before I had a husband and kiddos. I used to take chicken breasts and different seasonings I had on hand and throw them in foil along with lemon and it was always the moistest chicken ever! I forgot all about that until I came across this recipe from Damn Delicious. Their recipe is a little more "feisty" than mine used to be so I decided to give it a try. It turned out GREAT and my son, who is so sick of eating chicken, loved it! This one is super easy to make. It's a good recipe to make when you don’t have a lot of time to prep, but want a good and wholesome dinner. This one is gluten free and has a great Dijon mustard taste. I'll definitely be making this one again! My son insists!
