I just made this dish for a Memorial Day Barbecue - and it was terrific! I couldn't find herbes de provence at the grocery story - so I substituted italian seasoning - and it was yummy. This is a repeater for sure.

Delicious! We really loved the flavors that this marinade gave the chicken. The herbes de provence, Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar complimented each other so well in this recipe. I marinated the chicken for about 2-1/2 hours. Next time, I think I will marinate the chicken overnight to allow the marinade to permeate the chicken even more. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I will be making this often. *Made for PAC Spring '08*
