Honey and Dijon Mustard Sauce for Grilled Chicken Recipe

This honey and Dijon mustard sauce for grilled chicken recipe is a pure marvel that you absolutely must try!

What can I say? I used it to marinate diced chicken cutlets overnight, and the result is pure delight!

I served it with fresh peas and pasta to the delight of the whole family, adults and children alike. My loulou even asked me, a few days later, if I could make it again… 😉 The chicken was super tender and delicately perfumed with all the good flavors I’d brought together in this marinade.

• Dijon mustard

What recipes could you use this marinade for?

• Of course, you can use this marinade for meats you want to grill on the barbecue, plancha or pan. It’s excellent for poultry (chicken for me), but also for beef brochettes or pork or veal filet mignon…
• It’s also delicious with shrimps.
• You can also use it to cook vegetables in the same way as meats (barbecue, plancha or frying pan), or au gratin in the oven.
• This marinade is also excellent in a vinaigrette or mayonnaise, into which you can add a spoonful to delicately flavor your sauce.
• Last but not least, this marinade can be used as a vinaigrette in a salad – it’s a real treat!

I used this marinade for chicken, which I left in the fridge for a few hours. I then grilled the meat with the marinade in a pan, added a little cream and served with pasta and peas.

I can tell you it’s a real treat, and I’ve been getting requests for it at home ever since…
