This Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken is the best way to shake up your classic boring grilled chicken dinner. The honey mustard based marinade is the perfect balance of sweet, salty and savory. Plus, it goes with all kinds of side dishes!
During the late summer months, we're all looking for easy, delicious recipes that require as little babysitting over a hot stove or grill as possible. And this Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken is a perfect option, no matter what else you're having on the side!
First, we mix up a big batch of the honey mustard marinade, which includes honey mustard, soy sauce and garlic. This creates a fabulous balance of sweet, salty and savory.
Then we grill the chicken until it's cooked through. After a brief rest, we slice it and drizzle on more dressing/sauce. This creates a delicious, savory chicken that goes perfectly on green salads, mixed into pasta salad or eaten with simple grilled veggies and garlic bread.
