Honey-Dijon Chicken

By mamacasma

Marinating the chicken overnight frees up your kitchen and your time until just before serving. It also infuses the chicken with a hint of sweetness and a rich Dijon-style mustard flavor.

Ingredients

• 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2-1/2 lb. total)
• 1/2 cup white Zinfandel wine, apple juice, or apple cider
• 1/4 cup olive oil or cooking oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag set in a bowl. For marinade, in a small bowl combine wine or apple juice, oil, honey, mustard, garlic, pepper, and salt. Pour marinade over chicken; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Place chicken on the grill rack directly over medium heat; grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until done (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling. Makes 8 servings.
