Ingredients:  
-2 large lemons
-1 tbsp olive oil
-3 tbsp white wine vinegar
-2 to 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
-2 to 3 tbsp chopped fresh chives
-1 tbsp dijon mustard
-1 tsp salt (I used 1/2 tsp)
-1/4 tbsp black pepper
-2 to 3 tsp honey (I used 2 tbsp honey-I read it wrong but it was a good mistake)
-8 small (6 oz) boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 3 lbs total) or 12 chicken thighs (I used 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts)
-Thinly sliced lemon and fresh dill sprigs (I also chopped extra chives and parsley to garnish)
Directions:
Directions:
-Finely grate lemon zest into a bowl. Squeeze the lemons, and add the juice to the bowl (about 1/2 cup). Stir in olive oil, vinegar, dill, chives, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well; add honey to taste. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture and refrigerate.

-Place chicken in a large shallow dish. Add remaining juice mixture. Turn to coat chicken with mixture. Cover dish and refrigerate, turning once or twice, for 1 hour. (I put it in a zip lock bag which worked well).

-Heat a gas grill to medium-low heat, or prepare a charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Place chicken in a single uncrowded layer on the grill. Cover grill and cook, turning once, until juices run clear, about 12 minutes.

-Transfer chicken to a deep platter. Pour reserved lemon mixture over chicken. Garnish with lemon slices and dill (and other herbs if using).
