Summertime is for grilling this delicious honey mustard chicken. The whole family will love it and you will love how easy it is to make!
We are in full summer mode these days and loving it!! We have officially started swim lessons even if they were in the rain. Hello, my kids don’t care as long as it means they get to be outside and it’s not storming. We are still into splash pads, family pool days, funky caterpillar sprinklers, and all of the water gun fights we can handle. We love it all!!
After all of that we love sitting down to a delicious home cooked meal that’s straight off the grill. Days like these will be remembered forever. What’s even better is how little time and prep this meal takes. That’s something to remember!
For this honey mustard chicken, I combine the chicken breasts with the marinade in a sealable plastic bags and refrigerate for about 30 minutes and then grill.
The marinade consists of:
- Honey
- Dijon Mustard
- Salt/Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Garlic Powder
I am already dreaming up all sorts of ways to present this honey mustard chicken. It pairs so well with a green salad that is on the sweeter side (containing fruit). It would also be great to add to a panini or shredded and added to a wrap as leftovers for lunch.
*TIP* When grilling chicken breasts I like to half them lengthwise so they are all closer in thickness and cook more evenly.
