Spicy honey mustard grilled chicken

I'm always looking for an innovative way to make chicken and I think I found my new favorite recipe :)  I love this full-flavored tangy, yet spicy, and sweet chicken recipe that I snagged off pinterest.  I had to do some adapting, because I did not have some of the ingredients. So... I guess I can take partial ownership :)

My New Fav...

Serves: 4    Prep time:  5 minutes   Cook time:  8 minutes  Level of difficulty: Measly moderate

Ingredients:














4 boneless skinless chicken breast

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tsp. ground mustard

2 dashes of garlic chili pepper sauce, which is found in the Asian aisle

1 tsp. McCormick's steak seasoning

2 tablespoons olive oil

First, take your chicken out of the packaging and place it into a large Ziploc bag.  Use a flat cast iron skillet, rolling pin, or a meat tenderizer and flatten your chicken out. This is a French method of preparation: to flatten chicken out by using one of the mentioned methods.















Now, you want to pour your olive oil into your choice of sauté' pan and heat to medium.  Sprinkle your steak seasoning on your chicken while waiting on your pan to heat up.  When your pan is heated, add your flattened chicken breast.  Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on how thin you were able to make your chicken breast.















Meanwhile, while your chicken is getting beautified, let's make our sauce.  Mix your Dijon mustard, honey, and dry mustard all together.  When everybody is melding, you should nicely introduce Mr. Chili Pepper to the gang.  Stir well until everyone is dancing to the same beat :) 

Oops!!! I forgot to take a pic of that step.....Oh well, you know what to do....After you have mixed it all together, stick your finger in it. I mean, stick your spoon in it :) Give it a taste. If it's too spicy, then add more honey. If it's too sweet, then add more chili pepper.

Once you have your sauce right where you want it, take your chicken out of the pan and brush your fantabulous sauce all over your chicken. Let meat rest for 5 minutes.  While you're waiting for the meat to rest, how about you set the table or have the kids do it :)  Also, make the drinks. Then, the party is on. You can use the rest of your sauce to serve as a dipping sauce.

Here is my chicken resting :) Shhhh.... Using my inside voice, so my chicken can finish resting, I'll finish my story.  I served my outstanding chicken alongside a medley of rice, quinoa, yellow and red, peppers, zucchini, and garlic.














Here is the finale pic of my masterpiece......Enjoy your life :)














Ephesians 5:15-17, "Be very careful, then, how you live---not as unwise but as wise, making the most out of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."
