Honey Mustard Chicken Marinade Recipe

This 5-ingredient marinade is coming to the rescue when you can’t take one more bite of bland, boring chicken. Before that chicken goes on the skillet, the grill, or in the oven, douse it in this mega flavor (and still really healthy) marinade and your taste buds will be so happy.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1½ pounds chicken breasts or thighs

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a large bag or bowl (big enough to fit your chicken in).
  • Stir (or shake, if you’re using a bag) the marinade until it’s well mixed.
  • Submerge the chicken in the marinade and let it sit for at least an hour, or up to overnight.

Notes

Both chicken thighs and chicken breasts would be really delicious in this marinade, so pick one to try now and try the other next time!
