  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
  • ⅓ cup dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Basting Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Grilled Broccoli

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste

Garnish

  • Chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken thighs in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Whisk together ⅓ cup dijon mustard, ¼ cup honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  2. Preheat the Grill and Prepare Basting Sauce: About 20 minutes before grilling, remove chicken from the fridge to bring to room temperature. Preheat your grill to high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons dijon mustard and 2 tablespoons honey to create a basting sauce for the chicken during grilling.
  3. Prepare the Broccoli: In a bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil (about 1 to 2 tablespoons), a generous pinch of kosher salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Mix well to coat evenly. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a grill pan or on a foil tray if a grill pan is not available.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Grill each side for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). During the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, baste the chicken with the prepared honey mustard sauce to add extra flavor and glaze.
  5. Grill the Broccoli: While grilling the chicken, place the prepared broccoli on the other side of the grill. Close the lid and toss the broccoli every few minutes until it is nicely charred and golden brown, about 10 minutes in total.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken and broccoli from the grill. Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight if time allows.
  • If you don’t have a grill pan, use foil folded into a tray to hold the broccoli.
  • Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it is cooked safely.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts, but cooking time may vary slightly.
  • Adjust honey and dijon quantities in the marinade and basting sauce according to your taste preferences.
