Ingredients for Apricot Mustard Chicken On The Grill

  • 1/2 cup apricot jam
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Chicken Breasts

How to Make Apricot Mustard Chicken On The Grill

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apricot jam, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through (about 5 minutes).
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) for 15 minutes, basting frequently with the apricot mustard glaze, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. For a complete meal, grill yams and eggplant alongside the chicken. Serve the chicken immediately, drizzled with extra glaze for dipping.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
