Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt and pepper, (to taste)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons butter, (melted)
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
2 teaspoons hot sauce, (optional)
½ teaspoon white vinegar
⅛ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried basil; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together honey, melted butter, mustards, hot sauce, vinegar, and paprika; whisk until combined and smooth. Remove ¼-cup of the honey mustard and put it in a bowl - we will use this for basting. Reserve the rest for later for dipping.
  • Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
  • Place chicken breasts on the grill and brown for 2 minutes; turn it over and brown for 2 more minutes.
  • Brush the chicken breasts all over with half of the honey mustard basting sauce. Close the grill and cook the chicken for 7 minutes.
  • Uncover, flip and brush the chicken with more basting sauce; continue to cook for 5 to 6 more minutes, or until cooked through. Chicken is cooked when internal temperature registers at 165˚F. The thicker the chicken breasts, the longer it will take to cook through.
  • Remove cooked chicken from the grill and transfer to a cutting board; let stand 8 minutes.
  • Slice the chicken and serve with reserved honey mustard sauce.

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it is cooking: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Mustard grilled chicken is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Mustard grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade is simple to make and the chicken cooks quickly. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken breasts. Serve mustard grilled chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
