Grilled Honey Dijon Chicken

Are you ready to get your grill on? BBQ season is coming or could be already started depending on what the weather is like where you live. In our home, we normally start to BBQ on a regular basis after the May long weekend. For this post, I used my indoor grill because my BBQ is kaput. I know, I need to go shopping for a new one. It’s on my to-do list.

Grilled Honey Dijon Chicken

One of our favourite foods to barbecue is CHICKEN! It’s affordable, healthy and mouthwatering delicious. I made a Grilled Honey Dijon Chicken for my family and it was divine. It was super easy with a simple marinade of honey, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and fresh chives. I used chicken breasts, but you could use another cut of chicken like drumsticks or thighs. My kids prefer boneless so I usually gravitate towards the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the grocery store.

Taste your marinade before you brush it on the chicken. If you find the mustard too overpowering, add some more honey. I like mine mustardy (is that even a word?!) and it cooks off anyways.

Another kitchen item I recommend to have on hand is your meat thermometer. It’s hard to tell if the meat is cooked to the proper temperature without cutting into it. For a boneless, skinless chicken breast, you’ll want it to reach 165F for safe consumption. Bookmark this handy chicken cooking temperature chart.

    I used a George Foreman indoor grill so both sides of the chicken cook at the same time. It also gives the nice grill marks on your meat. The honey cooks quickly so make sure you to use your meat thermometer to check doneness. Don’t rely on the colour.

    While my chicken was grilling, I grabbed my food steamer to make some asparagus. I’m all about the kitchen appliances today. If you got ’em, use ’em!

    Because most of the sauce will cook off, you’ll want to prepare extra to drizzle over your cooked chicken. It’s a two ingredient sauce: honey and Dijon mustard. As a bonus, it also tastes yummy on top of asparagus.

    The final result is tender, juicy and flavourful. Each bite is a little bit of sweet and spice. Make some extra sauce for dipping, if you prefer.

    My youngest daughter isn’t fond of mustard so I held my breath waiting to see if she would say anything when I put the plate in front of her. Surprisingly, she ate ALL of her chicken breast and most of the asparagus. It made me feel good knowing she enjoyed it!

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

    • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
    • 2 tbsp honey
    • 2 cloves garlic minced

    Sauce

    • 3 tbsp honey
    • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard

    Instructions

    • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, chives and salt and pepper. Brush marinade over both sides of the chicken breasts and put in the fridge to marinade until you are ready to grill.
    • Place chicken on either your barbecue or indoor grill and grill until temperature reaches 165°F with a meat thermometer. I used an indoor grill and it took about 10 minutes. Place on a serving platter.

    1. I know what you mean about making the marinade a bit mustardy. I’m not a fan of mustard, but I find it tastes a bit more mild after being cooked. Your grilled chicken sounds delicious!

    2. This looks so yummy! I love the sweet & tangy combination of honey and dijon. Pinned and Yummed for future reference!

    3. I am definitely ready for grilling season! We always gravitate towards chicken too – healthy, easy and so many ways you can make it! I love honey Dijon flavored anything, so this is going to be a summer staple here! Pinned!
