Recipe Instructions:
- Marinate Chicken: In a resealable plastic bag or a flat container with a lid, mix together the Dijon mustard and dressing until well combined.
- Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure all sides are infused with flavor.
- Grill Chicken: Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place it on the grill. Cook for approximately 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Alternative Cooking Method: If you prefer, you can also bake the chicken in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven. Simply place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake until they are cooked through, usually about 25-30 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the Grilled Chicken Dijon hot off the grill alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
- For a light and refreshing meal, slice leftover chicken and arrange it on a bed of crisp salad greens. Drizzle with a bit of extra dressing for added flavor.
- This dish pairs well with a glass of chilled white wine or a refreshing iced tea.
