Here’s a simple, flavorful recipe for Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken—sweet, tangy, and perfect for a quick dinner:
🍗 Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken
Ingredients (serves 2–4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Make the marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate chicken:
- Coat chicken in the honey mustard mixture.
- Let it marinate 30 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor.
- Preheat grill or pan:
- Medium-high heat, lightly oiled.
- Grill the chicken:
- Cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until fully cooked (internal temp 75°C / 165°F).
- Serve:
- Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with rice, salad, or roasted veggies.
💡 Tips:
- For extra caramelization, brush with a bit more honey mustard during grilling.
- Can also be baked at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes if you don’t have a grill.
- Works with chicken thighs for juicier meat.
If you want, I can give a slow-cooker honey mustard chicken version that’s super tender and requires almost no hands-on time.
