Grilled Chicken Breasts with Honey Mustard Glaze

Total time: 30 minutes
     The chicken breasts are first marinated in lemon, oil and garlic, then grilled and basted with a lemon, honey and mustard mix.  Since we are using the reserved marinade as a basis for the basting sauce resist the temptation to taste it.  And stop basting a few minutes before the chicken is done, to finish cooking the sauce.

 Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, 350gr, 12.4oz
• 1/4 cup lemon juice   preferably fresh, 60gr, 2.1oz
• 1/4 cup olive oil, 54gr, 1.9oz
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp garlic powder, 2.8gr, .1oz
• 2 tbs honey, 42gr, 1.5oz
• 2 tbs Dijon-style mustard, 30gr, 1.06oz

 Instructions:

• In small bowl mix lemon juice, oil, herbs and garlic powder. 
• Place chicken breasts in a dish with sides and pour marinade over.  Let marinate 10 - 15 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. 
• Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade. 
• Pour reserved marinade into a small bowl.  Add honey, mustard and whisk to combine. 
• Cook chicken on barbecue grill for 7 - 10 minutes per side, or until done, basting with marinade sauce.  Could also be sautéed in a nonstick skillet for same amount of time. 
• Discard any leftover sauce.  Serve.
