What you need to make this recipe

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make Herb and Honey Grilled Chicken Tenders:

• 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
• 1/3 cup Dijon mustard (course ground is best)
• 1 shallot, minced
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Herbs de Provence
• 1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon fresh or dried oregano
• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

How to make this easy grilled chicken recipe:

In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, lemon juice, honey, diced shallot, olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Reserve half of the mixture to use after the meat is grilled.

In a large bowl combine marinade with chicken and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight.

You want to make sure the bowl you use has a lid so you can keep the chicken and marinade covered while it’s in the refrigerator.

How to grill the chicken:

Preheat your grill to a medium high heat.

Place chicken on grill and cook until chicken is completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. (Or when meat reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees F).

How do you know when chicken is cooked?

You’ll know chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

I always use a digital meat thermometer when cooking with chicken. Especially when you’re cooking with chicken tenders that vary in size. This means smaller pieces of chicken will cook faster than the larger pieces, therefore, use the thermometer!

Do you let chicken rest after grilling?

Remove the chicken from the grill and place on a clean platter. Cover with aluminum foil and allow the chicken to sit or “rest” for 5 to 10 minutes. This will prevent the juices from running out if you slice too soon.

Drizzle with remaining marinate right before serving.

What to serve with this recipe:

• Bow Tie Pasta – this is my version of a very classic recipe.
• Loaded Baked Potato Salad – comes together quickly and easily and make a great side dish for dinner, lunch on the go, or a party or even dish! 
• Thai Cucumber Salad – packed with flavors and textures. It is a perfectly fresh summer salad recipe to add to grilled chicken.
