Description

Juicy and flavorful chicken tenders marinated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze, grilled to perfection for an easy and impressive dish.

Ingredients
    For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup coarse ground Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 of shallot, diced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
    • For the Chicken:
  • 1.5 lbs chicken tenderloins
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
    • Optional Garnish:
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
    Prepare the Marinade:
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, diced shallot, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well combined. Set aside half the marinade in the refrigerator for later use as a glaze.
    2. Marinate the Chicken:
  2. Place the chicken tenderloins in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag or a large bowl. Pour in the marinade, ensuring the chicken is fully coated. Seal the bag (or cover the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight, for the flavors to fully infuse. Remember to turn the bag occasionally for even marination.
    3. Preheat the Grill:

  3. Heat your grill or pan to medium heat, around 375–400°F.

    4. Prepare the Chicken for Grilling:
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Brush each tender with canola oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.
    5. Grill the Chicken:
  5. Place the chicken tenders on the grill. Cook for approximately 8 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
    6. Apply the Reserved Marinade:
  6. During the final 1–2 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade for an added burst of flavor. Allow the glaze to caramelize slightly for a glossy, irresistible finish.
    7. Serve and Enjoy:
  7. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired, and serve immediately.
