Ingredients

Dijon Marinade Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vinegar of choice (white wine or champagne vinegar is best; or lemon juice also works well)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup olive or avocado oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional- maple syrup or honey to taste

Chicken Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, thinly sliced horizontally
  • 3/4 cup Dijon Vinaigrette (1 recipe)

Directions

  1. Whisk marinade ingredients in a small bowl; if an immersion/stick blender is available, that will create a really nice smooth texture too.
  2. In a glass bowl or sealable storage bag, combine marinade with chicken breasts.
  3. Place in the refrigerator and allow chicken to marinate for 2 hours. If marinating overnight or through out the work day, either remove vinegar/lemon juice from vinaigrette recipe because the meat will become mushy after an extended period of time.
  4. Preheat a pan until hot and grease with a drizzle of oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Add one layer of chicken breasts to the pan and cover with a well-fitting lid.
  6. Flip after browned (roughly 2 minutes), then cover with the lid again.
  7. Remove cooked chicken using a clean utensil, and transfer to a large container with a lid.
  8. Cover with the lid to prevent steam from escaping, which will make chicken more moist.
  9. Continue with remaining chicken breasts.

Qualities

  • Texture: Chewy
  • Rating for Scent : 6/10
  • Spice Level: 0/10

Tips

  • The marinade can also be used as a salad dressing and stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
  • If a thicker texture for the marinade is desired, add 1 teaspoon more of the Dijon mustard. If a thinner texture is desired (or if it thickens as it is in the fridge), add 1 teaspoon water.
  • Add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the marinade if a sweeter taste is desired.
