GRILLED CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI.
This honey mustard grilled chicken and broccoli is a delicious weeknight meal. The perfect honey dijon marinade plus charred, smoky broccoli makes this super delicious and simple.
Grilled honey mustard chicken is sure to become a staple at your house.
Throw this honey mustard chicken on the menu this week because it’s incredibly flavorful, filled with charred, smoky flavor from the grill. The broccoli is just as good and together, you can have dinner done in a few minutes.
Sounds good to me!
Plus, I love a meal that can be made entirely on the grill.
Honey mustard is my love language. I mean, I’ve talked about my obsession with mustards for years but honey mustard is one of the first sauces/dressings I ever really fell in love with. I’ve adored it since I was a young kid and the feeling has never left.
I’d eat just about anything slathered in honey mustard.
To make this chicken, I marinate it in my own dijon mustard and honey combo. I also baste it with some honey mustard while on the grill, so it gets all saucy. It’s basically like BBQ sauce, but honey mustard sauce. Which I prefer, thank you very much.
It’s so freaking good!
I like to sprinkle the chicken with a handful of fresh chopped chives for some brightness and refreshing flavor. After that, I can basically slice this and eat it as it. Super juicy, tender and the perfect contrast of savory and sweet.
The broccoli is simple as can be.
Olive oil, salt, pepper, maybe some garlic powder if you love it. The best part about the broccoli is that it gets so charred and golden and delish. SO good. We love it just as much as roasted broccoli, but this also has the smoky flavor from the grill which you just can’t beat. There is no real “recipe” here for the broccoli – when it comes to vegetables on the grill, I grill them until they are dark and golden and charred. You pull it off when it’s done to your liking.
Sometimes I’ll throw extra broccoli on so we have it for the week and then I’ll use it in all the things. If you find yourself with leftovers, you can also make this grilled broccoli crunch salad! It’s delish.
Okay and if you want to add something else in to this meal, like maybe a potato or rice? Go for it.
This is the perfect recipe for crispy smashed potatoes. They can roast in the oven while you grill. If it’s too hot for that, do my grilled gorgonzola potatoes, which is another fab option because the gorgonzola and honey mustard work so well together. Then the entire meal is done on the grill, clean up is minimal and everything is DELICIOUS.

GRILLED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS
The most juicy, tender chicken with the easiest marinade. Dijon, honey, olive oil, rosemary, lemon. THE BEST EVER.
So I kind of wore a down jacket today. I know. It was 67 degrees F. That’s cold.
Except it’s going to be 89 tomorrow! Midwest weather is crazy, guys. At least in Los Angeles, it was consistently 75-80 degrees for 75% of the year.
Anyway, I bring up the weather because I am going to grill the heck out of these chicken tenders before it gets to Chiberia time!
With just a simple honey mustard marinade, this should only take 10 minutes to prep. And you’ll be so surprised as to how epic these chicken tenders are. They get marinated for 2-8 hours, then thrown on the grill, then finished off with the rest of the glaze, yielding that perfectly sticky glaze.
It’s so wonderfully sticky-sweet and savory. Aka, the best flavor combo ever.
Serve with a salad, crusty bread, and all the wine before winter hits. It’s going to come fast!

Rotate the chicken 90 degrees and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes (to get a crosshatch of golden grill marks); flip and repeat on the other side, grilling for another 4 to 5 minutes (for a total cooking time of 8 to 10 minutes), until cooked through. The chicken should be firm and golden brown all over. Arrange on a platter to serve family style.
