Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts
I wanted a quick and simple chicken marinade with ingredients I had on hand for dinner. I found the perfect recipe at Simply Scratch. It took minutes to make the marinade/sauce and it tasted fantastic. I marinated the chicken for 3 hours before cooking it up in my grill pan. I served the chicken with the remaining sauce and we all liked it, including my daughter’s friend, who is very picky. My son didn’t like the sauce but thought the chicken was great without it… I didn’t tell him it had marinated in the sauce ☺.
How to Make Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts
Combine the mustard, honey, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Remove 3 tablespoons of the sauce and reserve it for later.
Place the chicken breasts into a shallow pan. Pour the marinade onto the chicken breasts then toss to coat evenly. Cover with saran wrap and place into the refrigerator to marinate for 2-3 hours.
Heat a grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Place the chicken into the hot grill pan and cook for 6-7 minutes; flip and continue to cook for 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken or serve 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?
