Easy Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe
This is about as easy as dinner gets! It requires minimal ingredients and since it’s cooked on the grill clean-up is a breeze! Even though there aren’t a lot of ingredients it’s still packed with flavor thanks to that delicious honey and Dijon mustard combination. If you aren’t a big fan a Dijon you can use half Dijon mustard and half yellow mustard and you’ll still get a delicious end result. Really the Dijon flavor isn’t overpowering here though even though it is a full 1/4 cup, the honey and the little bit of butter and olive oil really just tone down its strong robust flavor and balance it out really well. My kids don’t normally like Dijon mustard but they loved this chicken so that should give you an idea.
Grilled Chicken with Honey Mustard Glaze
I’ve already made this chicken twice in the past few weeks and I know it will be a regular on our summer dinner menu. It’s nice to keep the heat outside and grill dinner instead of baking or roasting some sort of dinner in the oven during these hot summer months. Plus, isn’t grilled food just that much better with its delicious slightly charred flavor? I know I’m hooked and it won’t stop here. The grilling has just begun :). In case you missed it I recently shared two other amazingly tasty grilled chicken recipes you can try along with this one, there’s this Cumin Rubbed Grilled Chicken with Chimichurri Sauce and this Hoisin Glazed Grilled Chicken (which is basically just an Asian-style grilled chicken) – all are delicious so be sure to try then all at least once this summer!
