Scale
Herb Mustard Sauce
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, pepper, and water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Coat the Chicken: Generously coat each chicken breast with a thick layer of the herb mustard sauce, reserving some sauce to use later during grilling.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium heat, ensuring it’s hot enough for cooking the chicken evenly without burning.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides are cooked evenly.
- Brush with Sauce: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the remaining herb mustard sauce over the chicken breasts to add extra flavor and moisture.
- Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the herb mustard sauce for up to 2 hours before grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee it is safe to eat.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
