Grilled Chicken in Mustard Sauce

May 15, 2014 by overtimecook 23 Comments

The best supper is the one you can make in minutes! Quick and easy grilled chicken in mustard sauce will become your new family favorite!

People often ask me how I became a cook, baker, and most importantly, a recipe developer. Every time, without hesitation, I answer that it boils down to my mother and her creativity in the kitchen. I’m sure that if I had grown up in a house where my mother followed recipes without experimenting at all, that I wouldn’t have ever attempted to experiment, and eventually start creating my own recipes.

It’s funny though, that while I completely credit my mother’s creativity for my own kitchen accomplishments, I’ve developed a completely different style in the kitchen. We often laugh about it. I’m a total perfectionist. My mother? She’s more accepting, more patient.

Both of our styles have their benefits and drawbacks. Being a perfectionist is helpful when you’re a food stylist and photographer. It helps when I’m creating some of the beautiful and show-stopping desserts you see here on the blog. But Mom’s style is more accepting and tolerant. And that definitely comes in useful. Would I have learned at my mother’s side if she would have been a perfectionist/control freak like I am? Doubtfully.

My mother’s style is more free-form. She doesn’t follow recipes. She reads cookbooks just to get ideas. And amazingly, she’s able to relinquish control for the sake of making someone happy or the sake of calm and peace. I can only hope to learn Mom’s level of tolerance and patience by the time I have my own kids scrambling to help me and learn from me in the kitchen.

Here’s the thing though. With all of my perfectionism, Mom is better cook than I am. She produces better and more creative food than I ever have.

With all of our differences in the kitchen, one thing my mother and I have in common is our lack of time. For both of us, a go-to quick and easy supper consists of grilled chicken in a simple mustard sauce. We’ll open the cabinet for a selection of McCormick spices to flavor it with. My mother isn’t so precise. If she doesn’t see the parsley, she’ll use dill. No red wine vinegar on hand? She’ll opt for some balsamic instead. But as a perfectionist, mine is the same every time. Mustard, red wine vinegar, with some fresh and delicious spices and herbs from McCormick. It’s quick, easy and delicious every time, regardless of who makes it.

    I love this — it sounds like you really do have different kitchen styles, and that makes both of your kitchen adventures so unique. My mom doesn’t like to cook — and her ability in the kitchen reflects that. My family laughs that I became a cook and recipe developer by a sheer miracle (and out of necessity) since I definitely didn’t learn from her.

    My mom is a big reason that I’m cooking today too. I love it when we can track it back to how we were raised. I love your chicken dish. It looks amazing.

    Your mom sounds a little like my mom. Great cook but always got her ideas from a cookbook or a recipe found in the paper. I learned from her but we have completely different styles in the kitchen. Now this looks like the perfect weekend meal.

      I have done it on 400 for 6-7 min on each side (may be more or less depending the thickness of the chicken). It’s super moist and delicious!

    Would the recipe be the same for chicken on the bone?

      The sauce will work but you’ll have to cook it a LOT longer!
