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, stir together 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 boneless skinless chicken breast with a thick layer of the prepared mustard herb sauce, reserving some sauce for basting later.
- Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium heat, making sure it’s properly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even grilling.
- Baste during cooking: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken breasts with the reserved mustard herb sauce to add extra flavor and moisture.
- Check doneness and serve: Make sure the chicken is fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For juicier chicken, marinate the chicken in the mustard herb sauce for 30 minutes to 2 hours before grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken on a grill pan or bake in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried, using about three times the amount.
- Serve with your favorite side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
