The longer it marinates, the better it is. It's wonderful in pasta salads, pasta dishes, and even soups. It gets tangy, but does not taste like mustard.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serve this simple grilled chicken on a warm summer's evening when you don't want to heat the kitchen and need an easy dinner. The two-ingredient chicken marinade is made with pantry ingredients you can keep handy. They add robust and tangy flavor to the chicken, but it doesn't taste like mustard. We used chicken breasts, but it would be good on any cut of chicken.

How To Make amazing grilled chicken

Step 1

Reach under the skin of the chicken without removing it, and poke the meat all over with a fork.

Step 2

Whisk together Dijon mustard and Italian dressing.
Step 3

Spread the marinade onto the chicken, under the skin where possible.
Step 4

Place the chicken in a bag. Pour the remainder of the mixture over the chicken. Place the bag on a plate in case it leaks. Refrigerate for 1 to 5 days.
Step 5

Grill on low to medium heat, starting skin side down, over medium-high heat, flipping after you set in good grill marks.
Step 6

Grill until no pink remains on the meat, 20-25 minutes. Personally, I remove the skin before I eat it. You MAY bake in the oven at 350 degrees, instead, but it's far better on the grill.
