EASY GRILLED HONEY-DIJON CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the honey, mustard, 1 tablespoon of oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and put the mixture into a large plastic resealable bag. Add the chicken, seal the bag and shake to incorporate. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange it on a well-oiled grill. Cook until a nice crust forms on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest on a serving platter for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with lime wedges.

EASY CHICKEN DIJON

EASY CRISPY DIJON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Put the butter in a 9 or 10 inch square baking dish and put it in the oven while it is heating up.
• Don't use a dish that is too big or the butter will end up spreading out too far from the chicken. This whole first part is very important and will help make your chicken end up crispy.
• In one bowl, whisk together the mustard and half and half.
• In another bowl, mix together the cracker crumbs and the cheese.
• When the oven is completely heated up and the butter is sizzling in the baking dish, remove the pan from the oven and set it on a trivet on the counter next to your two mixtures.
• Dip the chicken in the wet mixture; dredge in the crumb mixture.
• This step is important. Put the chicken down in the dish and turn it over right away. The idea is to put it in the butter briefly and turn it over so the butter side is up. It makes the chicken get evenly crispy. I use this technique for all of my oven "frying" because it works so well.
• Bake for approximately 45 minutes or so, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
• Leave them in there until the coating is browned real nicely. Mine are usually perfect at 45 minutes.

EASY HONEY-DIJON CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Place the chicken on a cutting board. Holding your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice the chicken breasts in half so that one breast becomes two cutlets. (You can also ask the butcher to do that for you.) If the chicken breasts are too large, lay the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them out with a meat mallet to ¼" thickness. Even thickness is important to this recipe, so do not skip this important step. Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, honey, Dijon mustard, paprika and coriander. Add the chicken cutlets and turn to coat well on both sides.
• Bring a large nonstick or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. When the skillet gets hot, add some olive oil. Wait until the olive oil is hot and add the cutlets (if they do not all fit, cook them in two batches). Pour any remaining honey-Dijon mustard mixture from the bowl over the cutlets and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or, until their internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• Remove the cutlets from the heat, cover them with aluminum foil for a few minutes to allow the juices to settle, and serve with the lemon wedges.

EASY PINEAPPLE-DIJON GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Drain the pineapple, reserving juice, and cut the pineapple rings in half; set aside.

• Season chicken with thyme, seasoning salt (or regular salt) pepper and garlic powder (if using).
• In a skillet brown the chicken on both sides in oil.
• Add in the honey/mustard mixture to the pan; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes (longer if using bone-on chicken pieces) or until juices run clear.
• Remove the chicken to a plate to keep warm.
• Stir/whisk in cornstarch mixture to the pan; bring to a boil, and stir for about 2 minutes.
