Description
Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken with Green Beans is a sweet, tangy, and easy weeknight dinner featuring juicy grilled chicken thighs coated in a sticky honey Dijon glaze and served with tender green beans.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Sauce/Marinade
- ¼ cup (85 g) honey
- 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 3 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Dish
- 1 to 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
- ¾ pound (340 g) green beans, trimmed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together honey, whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Seal and massage to coat evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat grill to high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill until fully cooked, turning occasionally.
- After removing chicken from the bag, add green beans to the remaining marinade and toss to coat.
- Grill green beans in a vegetable basket or sauté in a skillet until tender-crisp.
- Serve chicken and green beans together. Optional: prepare extra sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
- If grilling isn’t an option, bake at 400°F for 35–45 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
- Watch the grill closely—honey caramelizes quickly.
- Leftovers are great in salads, wraps, or meal prep bowls.
