Chef: Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken
Lost credit cards. Early AM conference calls. Broken car AC.
Life has a funny way of keeping us humble. And in spite of the annoying elements of the day, I just tried happy today knowing that I was going to be able to be safe and not go to bed hungry.
Today's recipe focused on simplicity. If you have limited time but want to take your poultry to the next level, this is the one for you.
The key with this recipe is to have the mustard compliment the dill, but not limit you from using with other sauces/flavor profiles.
Doing so also keeps it a bit more kid friendly (even though you know they are just going to drown it in ketchup anyway).
Enjoy, and please leave any mods/edits/wine pairing recommendations in the comments!
Mustard Dill Grilled Chicken
3-4 lbs chicken breast, sliced in half (or butterflied)
1/4 c mustard
1/2 c lemon juice
1 tbsp coarsely ground pepper
1 1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp dill (fresh or dried)
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp honey
Mix all spices/liquids together. Cut the chicken breast into cutlets by cutting down the length of the side of the breast (the knife parallel to the cutting board), and adding to the marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to 6 hours.
Set grill to medium high heat, and grill until liquids from the chicken run clear. Serve with grilled zucchini, angel hair pasta and goat cheese.
Also, here are some great tips for maintaining your gas grill:

Great Recipe!
I will be trying that tonight!
Do you have any lamb recipes?
I am actually a minimalist when it comes to cooking lamb. If not in stew, I try to season with only salt, pepper and a small amount of garlic and rosemary. I do have a favorite lamb stew paired with a saffron couscous that I will try and put together for a post here in the future.
Thanks for the inspiration, keep the suggestions coming!
Thanks you men for your post it's cool! Follow me back dude!
Thanks! Done!
Great summer recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I haven't had time to plan the whole month's worth of creations, but that is a goal for August to where you will see some more regularity in food posts.
