Description

This Honey Mustard Chicken is a delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors that everyone will love. The marinade infuses the chicken with a rich taste, making it tender and juicy whether you choose to grill or pan-sear. Serve it with a creamy dipping sauce for an added burst of flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup country Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts

Instructions

  • Prepare Marinade and Dipping Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the country Dijon mustard, honey, yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, rosemary, salt, paprika, and pepper. In another bowl, place 1/3 cup of the marinade and whisk in the mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Prepare Chicken: If using chicken breasts, place them between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet to ensure uniform thickness.
  • Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add the remaining marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
  • Cook on Stovetop: Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the chicken in the pan and cook until seared, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve with dipping sauce.
  • Cook on Grill: Preheat a grill to medium heat (around 350°F) and oil the grates. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Place the chicken on the grill, cover, and cook until grill marks appear, about 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes and serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh rosemary with other herbs like thyme or oregano.
