Description
This grilled honey mustard chicken is a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors, perfect for any barbecue or family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (plus more for the grill)
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, place the butter and heat in the microwave until it is melted, then add the honey, dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and add to a second bowl half of the honey mustard mixture.
- Preheat the grill to 425 degrees and pound thicker parts of the chicken breasts so that they are evenly thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides and lightly brush the grill with oil.
- Grill the chicken for 5 minutes, then brush and glaze with honey mustard (reserving the second bowl of glaze for the end).
- Flip the chicken to the other side and brush the honey mustard glaze on the second side. Continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes longer (the center must register 165 on an instant-read thermometer).
- From the second bowl, brush both sides of the chicken with the remaining glaze and leave to rest on the plate for several minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
