1. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag in a shallow dish; set aside.
For Marinade: 2. In a small bowl, stir together mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and the snipped or dried thyme until smooth. Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
