Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Mustard Basting Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard

Broccoli

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Whisk together 1/3 cup dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pour the mixture over the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator to infuse flavor.
  2. Preheat and prepare: Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling to bring it to room temperature, helping it cook evenly.
  3. Prepare basting sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey and 3 tablespoons dijon mustard. This optional sauce will be brushed on the chicken during grilling to enhance flavor.
  4. Season the broccoli: Place broccoli florets in a bowl. Drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil and season generously with kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat the florets evenly. Spread the broccoli on a grill pan in a single layer, or use 2 to 3 folded layers of aluminum foil shaped as a tray if a grill pan is unavailable.
  5. Grill the chicken: Place the chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). In the last 2 to 3 minutes, brush the chicken with the prepared honey mustard basting sauce to give a glossy, flavorful finish.
  6. Grill the broccoli: While the chicken cooks, place the broccoli on the grill pan or foil tray on the other side of the grill. Close the grill lid and toss the broccoli every few minutes until charred and golden, about 10 minutes, adjusting to your preferred crispness.
  7. Serve: Remove chicken and broccoli from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken overnight if possible for maximum flavor penetration.
  • If you don’t have access to a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop or baking in the oven are good alternatives.
  • This dish is best served immediately to enjoy fresh textures and vibrant flavors.
