Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together both mustards, honey, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using) until smooth.
  2. Place the chicken in a dish or zip-top bag, pour the marinade over, and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill 6 to 8 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Resting the chicken for 5 minutes keeps it juicy. If baking, arrange the chicken on a foil-lined sheet and bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
