Dijon Grilled Chicken
Description
Dijon Grilled Chicken begins with a marinade made from olive oil, Dijon mustard, pressed garlic, salt, and black pepper. The chicken pieces are coated in the marinade and refrigerated for at least two hours to absorb flavors. Grilling over medium heat cooks the chicken through, creating a browned exterior and moist interior. The mustard provides a subtle tang and slight sharpness, balanced with garlic and seasoning, enhancing the grilled meat without overpowering it.
This chicken pairs well with salads, grilled vegetables, or as a protein addition to sandwiches and wraps. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and kept for up to four days, making it practical for meal prep or next-day meals.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless; or chicken thighs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 garlic pressed, cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking the olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken breast into the bowl and toss to combine and evenly coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate and let marinate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Place chicken on the grill for 5-7 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown and the juices run dry, approximately 5-7 more minutes.
- Remove chicken from the grill. Sprinkle with parsley and serve as desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours for more pronounced flavor.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs depending on preference.
