[Recipe] Grilled Chicken with Garlic, Whole Grain Mustard & Thyme Cream Sauce

[Recipe] Grilled Chicken with Garlic, Mustard & Thyme Cream Sauce | www.fussfreecooking.com

My dear friends, happy hump day!

I hope you week has been progressing well. I must admit, this week has been hectic with work and deadlines, you know the usual stuff and cooking has been a therapeutic outlet for me. I am trying out new Indian recipes which I can’t wait to share on the blog soon. In the meantime, here is a nice and simple grilled chicken with an amazing sauce to cure your mid-week meal crisis, if you have any. 😉

My beloved and I had this grilled chicken with the creamy mustard and thyme sauce for two nights in a row.  The first night we had them with grilled zucchini with mixed salad and the second night, we had them with sweet corns and mixed salad. Sometimes all it takes is a slight variation in order not to look like I am in a cooking rut ha! Since I already have the creamy sauce made in advance on the second day, all I have to do when I came back from work is to season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper, a light spray of olive oil and place on the preheated griddle pan. In the meantime, I can get myself change to more comfortable attire, snuggled with my birds (yes, I’m a crazy bird lady ha!) and back to the kitchen getting the side dishes ready.

Meal preparation is a breeze when we have some easy recipes up our sleeves hey?

    Hi Emily,

    What a great recipe! I find that when I use the griddle pan for salmon, chicken, pork, etc. it leaves burnt residue/brownings in the pan. Does this happen to you? If not, any advice on what I’m doing incorrectly?

    Thanks.

      Hi Candice,

      Yes, it happens to me too! But I do try to minimise the burnt residue/browning by:
      1. when marinade meat/fish, I will try to ground spices, dried herbs, salt and pepper as marinade,instead of liquid marinate like soy sauce, honey and maple syrup.

      2. If I decided to use liquid marinate, then I will try to cook the meat in one batch, hence it is important for me to get a large griddle pan instead of a smaller one which means you have to cook over a couple batches. You may notice as after the first and second batch of grilling, the residue and burnt bits actually get worse (obviously) unless you get a non-stick version which you can get away with wiping off the burnt bits with a kitchen towel after each batch.

      The above are some the mental notes I adhere to when I use my griddle pan for grilling. I hope this helps!
