Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Place them in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mustard herb mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated on all sides. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F or 190–200°C). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill.
Grill the chicken for about 8–10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the Herb Mustard Grilled Chicken hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
