A Touch of Mint Chicken Grillers

Posted on 13. Aug, 2008 by The Mommy Circle in Recipes

What You’ll Need:

1/3 C fresh mint, coarsely chopped
1/4 C + 2 TBSP olive oil
1/4 C lemon juice
1 TBSP garlic, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 TBSP unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, chopped fine
1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped fine
1/4 C Dijon mustard
2 TBSP honey

How to Make It:

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the mint, 1/4 C olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.

Place the chicken breasts in a large zip lock bag. Add the mint mixture and seal tightly.
Turn the bag a few times to be sure the mint mixture covers the chicken. Refrigerate one hour.

Place the 2 TBSP of olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter and heat until the butter is completely melted. Add the onion and jalapenos and cook for 4 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and the honey.

Heat the grill to medium high.

Cook the chicken breasts for 8 minutes turning once. Baste the chicken with the mustard sauce and continue grilling 5 more minutes or until the juice runs clear.

Keep the lid on your grill closed. This will insure your meat will cook quickly, evenly and without flare ups.
