Honey Mustard Chicken

Honey-Mustard Chicken

 

 

I’m in a fun cooking group.  We meet monthly and the person who hosts the group at her house selects a theme and provides the entrée.  It was my turn to host last month and the theme was “Simple.”  I had everyone select a recipe that used 5 ingredients or less.  I think one of the most daunting parts of learning to cook is seeing a recipe that calls for a zillion ingredients.  For working moms like me, that sometimes discourages me from wanting to cook.  This was a fun get together because I discovered that you can still cook an amazing, family-pleasing dinner with a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients:

1/3 c. Dijon Mustard

¼ c. honey

2 T. mayo

1 t. A1 sauce

4 chicken breasts

 

Directions:

Mix wet ingredients in a bowl or large Ziploc bag.  (Set aside ¼ c. for basting and/or dipping.)  Add chicken and fold to coat.  Lightly oil grill and cook chicken until no longer pink, basting with sauce as needed.

In my test kitchen:

I’ve never really been a big fan of Honey-Mustard items before.  So I was hesitant to try this recipe.  And when I taste tested the sauce before putting it on the chicken, it seemed really bitter.  So I added another 2 T. of honey.  So maybe try the sauce and add more mustard or honey to your liking.  Also, one great thing about this recipe is that it really doesn’t need time to marinate.  I cooked it right away the first time I made it and let it marinate the second time and didn’t taste much of a difference.  You can also use an indoor or outdoor grill for this.  (I used a George Foreman grill the first time.)
