Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Group: Marinade
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Group: Chicken
  • 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Mixing bowl
  • Zip-top bag or shallow dish
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until you achieve a glossy, smooth mixture.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally, overnight.
  3. Heat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
  6. Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if using. Pair with a seasonal salad or some roasted vegetables.

Notes

A minimum of one hour is key for flavor development. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
