Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken and Broccoli
Description
Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken and Broccoli combines tender boneless chicken thighs with a honey and Dijon mustard marinade that imparts a mellow sweetness and slight tang. Marinating for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to permeate the chicken before grilling over high heat. The broccoli florets are simply seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder, then grilled on a pan or foil tray until tender and slightly crisp. Basting the chicken with additional honey and mustard while grilling intensifies the glaze and creates a shiny, flavorful coating. The grilling method enhances the natural flavors by adding a subtle smoky char to both chicken and broccoli, making this a balanced and appealing meal component.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thigh boneless
- ⅓ cup Dijon mustard + 3 tablespoons
- ¼ cup honey + 2 tablespoons
- 2 to 3 tablespoon olive oil
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- garlic powder
- Chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the ⅓ cup dijon, ¼ cup honey and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pour it over the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or even overnight. Stick it in the fridge, covered, to marinate.
- When ready to grill, preheat the grill to high. Remove the chicken about 20 minutes before grilling to take the chill off. In a small bowl, I whisk together another 2 tablespoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of dijon, for basting the chicken while grilling. This is optional but very delicious!
- Place the broccoli florets in a bowl and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle on a big pinch of salt and pepper and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Toss well. Spread the florets on a grill pan in a (mostly) single layer. If you don’t have a grill pan, you can use aluminum foil. I do 2 or 3 layers of foil and foil up the edges to make a tray.
- Place the chicken on the grill. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the temperature in the thickest part of the chicken registers at 165 degrees F. The last 2 to 3 minutes, brush the chicken with the honey mustard mixture.
- While the chicken is grilling, place the broccoli on the other side, whether on the grill pan or foil. Grill these both with the lid closed. Toss the broccoli every few minutes, until it’s charred and golden enough for your liking. This usually takes around 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and broccoli from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve!
