Jalapeño Dijon Grilled Chicken

Phew so what a busy few weeks it has been and I just want to say sorry for the lack of recipes up here lately.  Between work, required classes that require 4-5 hours of homework a night, setting up giveaways to give you all awesome prizes, training, and competing on top of having my identity stolen, it has been HELL to say the least.  So THANK YOU ALL so much for participating in my giveaway, we had a huge response and if you all keep participating like that it will be really easy for me to keep giving away some awesome prizes.  I am already devising my next one so I will keep you posted :0)  Hope you enjoy this amazing chicken recipe.

Servings: 4-6

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 Lbs Chicken Thighs, skin optional
  • 4 Jalapenos, diced (I kept my seeds in)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, pressed
  • 2 Tbsp Kasandrios Olive Oil
  • 4 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Raw Organic Honey (optional if Whole 30)
  • 2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • 1 Tsp Pepper
  • 1 Lemon

Process:

  1. Combine all of your ingredients, EXCEPT YOUR LEMON, in a bowl or dish to marinade your chicken
  2. Marinade for at least a few hours but 24 hours in the refrigerator is ideal
  3. Once your ready to cook, preheat your grill to a medium/medium high heat or about 400-450 degrees F
  4. Once your grill is ready, place your chicken thighs on the grill and cook between 7-10 minutes per side
  5. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is cooked and at least 175 Degrees F
  6. Once done place all your chicken thighs in aluminum foil, squeeze all your lemon juice over the chicken, and close the aluminum foil and let it steam with the lemon juice for about 10-15 minutes
  7. Serve and enjoy

    I’ve got chicken thighs defrosted in the fridge just waiting for this marinade! And, it’s going to be 56 degrees in Colorado Springs today so perfect for grilling!

    Oh George, so sorry to hear about the identity theft! Hope you get things straightened out before they cause too much damage. I don’t know how you do all you do, and still create such yummy food! Thanks for sharing. :-)

    I just made this tonight – and let me say, insanely good, crazy good, big thumbs up. I couldn’t grill outside, so I set up the grill pan with coconut oi on medium high, followed the recipe and at the end let the chicken simmer with the heat off with the lemon juice, (foil covering), for the last ten minutes. Frickin awesome!!!

    This looks so good! I pretty much love anything spicy so this is right up my alley. Will have to give this one a try over the weekend!

    Tried this one out today…had to use a grill pan and high heat instead of the grill because its still winter in Michigan. But the marinade was awesome and really made for some of the best chicken i have BBQ’d in a while…another winner. I paired it with the broccoli and sesame dressing.

    Hi there! This recipe looks amazing and simple. Going to try it in a few min. I was wondering though if you could add a “print” feature within the recipe so I can print straight from the recipe’s page?

    Thanks for all of your knowledge and great recipes!

    • http://civilizedcavemancooking.com Civilized Caveman

      There is a print feature, at the bottom of the post where all the social media widgets are, there is one called print friendly, if I remember correctly it is the 4th one in from the left
