Marinade and Sauce
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Main Ingredient
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Dijon mustard, dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, pepper, and water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Coat the Chicken: Generously coat each boneless chicken breast with a thick layer of the mustard herb sauce, reserving some of the sauce to use later during grilling.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat to ensure it is ready for cooking the chicken evenly.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking and grill marks.
- Brush with Sauce: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the reserved mustard herb sauce over the chicken breasts to intensify the flavor and create a delicious glaze.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill once fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F and serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through but not overdone.
- For a juicier result, let chicken rest for 5 minutes after grilling before slicing.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried for a fresher flavor; use three times the amount if using fresh.
- You can marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
- If no grill is available, the chicken can be cooked on a stovetop grill pan or baked in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
