Zesty Grilled Chicken with Thyme

(Gluten-free)

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Dijon-type mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme (about 1/4 teaspoon)

  • 1 tsp horseradish (optional)

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half

Directions

Combine the mustard, garlic, thyme and horseradish (if using) in a bowl or container large enough to accommodate the chicken breasts. Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture and let stand at least 15 minutes.

Grill (or broil) about 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). 

To switch things up, try substituting fresh oregano for the thyme. Or, if you like a bit of crust, roll in unseasoned, gluten-free bread crumbs before grilling. Or sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
