Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe – Easy and Delicious

If you’re looking for a quick and simple recipe that combines sweet and tangy flavors, honey mustard chicken is your go-to dish. Here’s the step-by-step guide to making this delicious meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    (You can use your preferred cut of chicken)
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
      (Spicy mustard works if you like a stronger flavor)
      • 1 teaspoon olive oil
      • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
        (To add a balanced touch of acidity)
      • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
        • Salt and pepper to taste
          • Lemon slices and fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the marinade:
    • In a small bowl, mix honey, mustard, olive oil, white vinegar, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Tip: Taste the marinade, and adjust the sweetness and acidity balance to your liking.
  2. Marinate the chicken:
    • Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and ensure they’re well coated.
  3. Tip: Let the chicken sit in the marinade for 15-30 minutes to deepen the flavor, but you can cook it immediately if you’re in a hurry.
  4. Grill the chicken:
    • Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and beautifully golden.
  5. Tip: Don’t worry if the chicken looks glossy—it’s the honey caramelizing for that perfect shine.
  6. Add extra marinade:
    • In the last 2 minutes of cooking, pour any remaining marinade over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve the chicken on a plate, garnished with lemon slices and fresh thyme. This dish pairs beautifully with rice or a light salad.

Here’s the final dish of Honey Mustard Chicken. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, I hope you enjoy the delicious flavors.
