Sauce Ingredients
- 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 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 chicken breast with a thick layer of the prepared herb mustard sauce, reserving some of the sauce for basting later during grilling.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the coated 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 chicken breasts with the reserved sauce to add extra flavor and moisture until they are well coated and cooked through.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- If you don’t have a grill, this recipe can be adapted for stovetop grilling with a grill pan or baked in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
- Fresh herbs can substitute dried herbs; use about three times the amount of fresh herbs.
- For extra smoky flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the herb mustard sauce before grilling.
- Serve with a side salad or grilled vegetables to complete the meal.
