One of the reasons I love cooking with chicken is it's so diverse. It takes on flavors beautifully in this recipe, too.

How to make honey mustard grilled chicken breasts

Because boneless chicken breasts seem to be sporting DD's these days, I like slicing my chicken breasts in half horizontally before cooking. This keeps the chicken tender and eliminates the drying out that can happen with big cuts of meat. It also keeps the portion size in check!

Ideas to mix up honey mustard grilled chicken

• use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts
• no Dijon mustard in your fridge? Substitute the same amount of plain old yellow mustard
• serve grilled chicken on a brioche roll or burger bun
• substitute it on a chicken bacon ranch wrap

What to serve with grilled honey mustard chicken

Serve your honey mustard chicken on a bun, or topping a salad. Great sides are Mediterranean roasted veggies, grilled sweet potato wedges or rice.

Or maybe a side salad like Greek lemon orzo salad or marinated green bean salad. You choose.

This easy recipe is also great as a freezer, or make ahead meal. Just give the chicken and honey mustard a mix in a gallon sized ziplock bag and refrigerate or freeze your marinaded chicken for later.
