Mustard Herb Marinade
- 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
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, pepper, and water until you achieve a smooth sauce.
- Coat the Chicken: Generously coat each boneless, skinless chicken breast with a thick layer of the mustard herb sauce, reserving some sauce for basting during grilling.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Baste the Chicken: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the reserved mustard herb sauce onto the chicken breasts to enhance flavor and keep them moist.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Notes
- For juicier chicken, consider marinating the chicken for 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, this recipe can be adapted for stovetop grilling using a grill pan or skillet.
- Adjust the paprika amount to your preferred spice level.
- If fresh herbs are available, you can substitute dried herbs with three times the amount of fresh herbs for enhanced flavor.
- Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
