Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts (pounded thin if using breasts)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Cajun Honey Mustard Marinade
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Creamy Cajun Honey Mustard Sauce
- Reserved unused marinade
- 2 tablespoons loosely packed cilantro
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Suggested Garnish
- chopped mangoes
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk Cajun Honey Mustard Marinade ingredients together. Add 1/2 cup of marinade and 1/4 cup olive oil to large freezer bag along with chicken. Marinate 1 hour up to overnight (the longer the better). Refrigerate unused marinade separately to use in Sauce.
- STOVETOP DIRECTIONS
- If chicken has been refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting).
- Meanwhile prepare Creamy Cajun Honey Mustard Sauce (directions below).
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned (or blackened if you prefer) on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove to a cutting board and brush with Creamy Honey Mustard Sauce or top plated chicken with sauce. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing. For a spicier chicken, sprinkle with cayenne pepper, for sweeter, sprinkle with brown sugar.
- GRILLING DIRECTIONS
- If chicken has been refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting).
- Meanwhile prepare Creamy Cajun Honey Mustard Sauce (directions below).
- Meanwhile, grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375-450°F. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry.
- Grill chicken undisturbed for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F.)
- Remove chicken from grill and brush with Creamy Honey Mustard Sauce or top plated chicken with sauce. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing. For a spicier chicken, sprinkle with cayenne pepper, for sweeter, sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Creamy Cajun Honey Mustard Sauce: Add all of the Creamy Cajun Honey Mustard Sauce ingredients to your blender and process until smooth. Set aside.
