Enjoy Spring with These Backyard Grilling Recipes
Spring is in the air and soon everyone will be heading out to their outdoor living spaces to fire up the grill. We’ve been taste testing and we’ve found two great recipes for you to try this spring.
Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1/3 Cup Dijon mustard

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Directions:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- In a bowl, combine the mustard, honey, mayonnaise and steak sauce. Set aside 2-3 tablespoons for basting, and dip the chicken into the remaining sauce until its coated
- Lightly oil your grill grate and grill the chicken over indirect heat for 18 to 20 minutes. Turn the chicken occasionally or until the juices run clear. During the final 10 minutes, baste the chicken from time to time with the reserved honey mustard sauce.
