Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts

For the marinade

  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper

For the Honey-Dijon Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 rounded tsp corn starch
  • 3-4 tbsp water

For the salad

  • Baby salad greens
  • Red onion
  • Brie Cheese cut in small cubes
  • Sliced pears
  • Sliced oranges
  • Lightly toasted walnuts

Instructions

  1. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and rub onto the chicken breasts. Let marinate in the fridge for a 1/2 hour while you make the Honey Dijon Glaze.

To make the Honey Dijon Glaze

  1. Simmer the honey, mustard,vinegar, ginger, salt and chicken stock together in a small saucepan for about 10 minutes before thickening with a slurry of 1 rounded teaspoon of corn starch dissolved in 3 or 4 tbsp water. Simmer for only about a minute after adding the thickening, stirring constantly.
  2. Grill the chicken until fully cooked, brushing it with the glaze several times in the last few minutes of cooking time. Slice the cooked chicken and serve it on the prepared salad. Serve remaining glaze over the chicken.
