Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts
I wanted a quick and simple chicken marinade with ingredients I had on hand for dinner, so I made this grilled honey mustard chicken breasts recipe from Simply Scratch. It took minutes to make the marinade/sauce, and it tasted fantastic. The honey mustard chicken was flavorful and juicy, and paired nicely with twice-baked potatoes and roasted broccoli and cauliflower.
Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup of any whole grain mustard
- ¼ cup of honey
- Juice of ½ a small lemon
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 2Â dashes of cayenne pepper
- 2Â dashes of red pepper flakes
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
How to Make Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts
Combine the mustard, honey, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Remove 3 tablespoons of the sauce, reserving it for later.
Place the chicken breasts into a shallow pan. Pour the marinade onto the chicken breasts, then toss to coat evenly. Place into the refrigerator to marinate for 2-3 hours.
Heat a grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
Place the chicken on the hot grill pan and cook for 6-7 minutes.
Flip and continue grilling for 6-7 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for a few minutes before serving.
Drizzle the reserved sauce over the chicken or serve it on the side. Enjoy.

The very first meal I cooked for Chris’ parents was a grilled honey mustard chicken!! It’s simple… it’s delicious…. what more could you want?
Everything was fine, test was great but after eat it I realize that I forget honey, but anyway it good.
Quick, simple, and fantastic – hard to beat that combo. It seems that you kids are not real big on sauce 🙂
You had me at honey and mustard! Sounds like a great marinade….love the kick that the cayenne and pepper flakes would add.
Pam I love these chicken breast, look really good!
Honey mustard is a favourite around here and quick and tasty is always a good deal.
The chicken sounds very tasty!
I love how your son didn’t like the sauce but liked the chicken! 🙂
This is my kind of dinner. Simple, delicious, and made with ingredients I always keep on hand! Thank you for sharing it with me!
Honey mustard ALWAYS sounds super to me! Great marinade.
The chicken looks delicious. I really like the marinade, sounds tasty.
Honey and mustard work so great together! The flavour must be amazing.
This looks wonderful – I love that you use some cayenne pepper to give it a little extra heat!
Mustard and honey perfect for chicken. I bet they were delicious.
fantastic marinade, pam! you really know how to treat your chicken well. 🙂
I love that Inglehoffer stone ground mustard, it’s my favorite coarse one. The only thing I don’t like it in is a vinaigrette. Have you tried it in one?
