Variations – Honey Mustard Chicken Marinade

Want to change things up a bit?  Create this whole family pleasing honey mustard chicken marinade instead.

In addition to your chicken, you’ll need just 3 simple ingredients to create THE Chicken Marinade that everyone will go crazy for!

  • 4 thin sliced or flattened Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 12 ounces French’s Dijon Mustard (1 bottle)
  • 3/4 cup Honey
  • 1/2 cup Avocado Oil (or Canola or Vegetable oil)

Combine the 3 marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl, then transfer the marinade mixture + your chicken breast to a gallon sized freezer bag.

Place the bag in the refrigerator to marinate for 4-6 hours or overnight, turning and flipping several times.

When ready for dinner, remove the chicken from the bag, toss the marinade out, and get ready to grill or bake your chicken.

Honey Mustard Marinade Recipe

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Grill your pre-marinated chicken on the grill outside. (8 minutes on each side at 400 degrees or until internal temperature of your chicken is 165 degrees.)

*Note: To flatten your chicken breast to an even thickness for grilling, simply place it between two large pieces of plastic wrap.  Then using the flat side of a meat mallet or tenderizer, gently pound your chicken breast flat, starting in the middle.

Be sure to make up some Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce to send it over the top!

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Or bake your pre-marinated chicken in the oven for a delicious baked honey mustard chicken!  Just bake the chicken in a 9×13 casserole dish at 350 degrees for 50 – 55 minutes, or until done.

Want extra sauce for dipping your grilled or baked chicken? Be sure to make up some of this fabulous Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce!

Not ready to cook your pre-marinated honey mustard chicken yet?  After adding the chicken and marinade to a gallon sized freezer bag, place the bag directly in the freezer for some pre-marinated chicken that you can cook up later!   Prior to cooking, just pull it out of the freezer to allow the chicken to thaw in the fridge.  This will allow all of the yummy flavors to soak into the chicken.

      I just made this recipe for the first time. put chicken with white rice and green beans to finish the meal. my boyfriend said he will be no good at work tonight because he ate so much, my 12 year old son said it’s “bussing” which he said means really good. it was so good. the chicken was juicy and so tasty. Thank you so much!!!!

      I fully understand now why I shouldn’t have used coarse ground Dijon mustard! The flavor was excellent and the chicken was perfect but the texture was awful. Going to try it again with regular Dijon for sure! Great recipe! Cook time was perfect.

      Can the chicken breast be frozen when you add them or do they have to be thawed?

        Hi Teresa ~ you’ll use thawed chicken breasts for this recipe. ENJOY!

      I’m really looking forward to trying this.

      Instead of waiting until the end to add the honey and mustard, do you think I could put it in at the beginning and let it cook with the chicken the entire time?

      • Heidi says

        November 3, 2015 at 1:25 pm

        Hi Beth ~ you can add the sauce at the beginning, but the taste and end result will be very different.

        If you drain the juices and add the sauce near the end, you’ll end up with a much thicker more tasty sauce. Hope that helps!

        Hi Emily ~ draining the juices will ensure you have a thicker more flavorful sauce and end result. 🙂 Hope that helps!

        Hi Tracy, I typically use 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts. If using smaller pieces, just shorten the time a bit. Hope that helps! 😉

      Hi. Do I cook the chicken in the crockpot with or without water???
      I’m totally new to the crockpot thank you for your help.

        Hi Judy ~ no water is necessary. The chicken will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! 😉
