This is a Healthy and Easy to Make Grilled Chicken Recipe
This is one of the easiest boneless chicken recipes around yet it tastes delicious. There is little point in buying ready seasoned chicken breasts, which contain unnecessary additives, when you can make your own so easily. This is not a traditional honey mustard chicken recipe because no honey is used in the recipe; instead mustard, Italian seasoning and garlic powder combine to give all the flavor you need. The chicken is simply mixed with the seasonings and grilled. Be careful with the chicken because you do not want to puncture it and let the juices flow out. If you do that it might become dry which will spoil all your hard work.
You can leave the chicken in the marinade for up to half an hour, to really infuse it with flavor before grilling it, if you want, else just dipping it into the sauce is enough to flavor it. Perhaps you are still surprised when you see a five ingredient recipe but, trust us, simple recipes are often the most successful of all. Not only are recipes with just a few ingredients easier to make because you do not have to juggle lots of different things, but keeping the ingredients simple means keeping the flavors streamlined. Using too many different ingredients in one dish can give you an over-complicated flavor and why make things complex if you do not need to?
This mustard chicken recipe is good served with either boiled or mashed potatoes or rice and some fresh vegetables on the side. This is a particularly healthy chicken recipe, as well as being supremely flavorsome. If you real need to have the honey with your mustard you can serve this dish with honey as a dipping sauce but sometimes it is not necessary, unless you especially love the sweet flavor it brings.
