CHICKEN IN MANY MUSTARDS MARINADE FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Combine apple juice, mustards, vinegar, oil, lemon juice and shallot in a medium bowl and mix well.
• Place chicken in a single layer in a shallow non-reactive pan. Pour marinade over, cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
• To cook, drain chicken, reserving marinade. Place chicken over medium-hot coals and grill 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 C). While chicken is grilling, place reserved marinade in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil (or use a fresh batch of marinade ingredients). Reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes, or until chicken has finished cooking. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 boneless skinless thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds), squeeze out the air, seal tightly and massage gently to coat the chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
• To cook: Transfer the chicken from the bag to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and cover with foil. Roast in a 425-degree F oven for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes more.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MUSTARD-GARLIC MARINADE AND SAUCE

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in resealable food-storage plastic bag.
• In medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup of the broth, the oil, 2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard, the lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper with whisk. Pour over chicken; seal bag. Refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 8 hours to marinate.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; pour marinade into 1-quart saucepan. Beat in remaining 1/2 cup broth and maple syrup with whisk. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 12 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (165°F). Meanwhile, heat sauce to boiling and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Sauce should be smooth and slightly syrupy. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
• Serve chicken breasts with sauce; top with parsley.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• To make Basil Butter: In small saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, the basil, and the 3/4 teaspoon onion powder. Set aside.
• To make the Mustard Sauce: Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate sauce until you are ready to serve.
• To prepare the chicken: Trim any fat, rinse and pat dry. Place each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outer edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap.
• Grill the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink. Halfway through the grilling, turn the chicken over and generously brush each with the Basil Butter Sauce. Serve the chicken with the mustard sauce.
• I have always served the Mustard Sauce cold, however, it can be served warm. After mixing, place it in a small sauce pan and cook and stir until heated through. Keep warm until serving.
• I uaually double the sauce recipe to have extra on hand. It is excellent on ham and roast beef as well.
