Do you have a kitchen thermometer? I have used one since I started really loving food and cooking. Luckily I had a job that required me to have a digital cooking thermometer. So I was introduced to a kitchen thermometers usefulness early on. I highly recommend that if you don’t have one you head on over to Amazon or Target or where ever you choose to shop and find one pronto. Look for a digital instant read thermometer and don’t worry that it will cost you a lot of money. $20-30 can get you a good thermometer. I’d say it’s moneywell spent. Everyone worries they may be under-cooking their chicken or meatballs and a thermometer takes the guess work out of cooking.
Okay now that my little PSA is over I’ll step away fro the lectern and share a little something with you. A little something delicious and nutritious. Dijon Herb Chicken. Oh yeah. I’m so glad that grilling weather is making a comeback. Not that we let rain or snow get in the way of grilling, it’s just so nice to cook without having to put your coat on.
This chicken is flavorful, and super easy. Easy peasy even. It is great as the main event on your dinner plate but would also be good cut up over a salad or mixed in with rice or pasta. Make it. You’ll thank me.
Dijon Herb Chicken Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
juice of 1 lemon
2 Tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon honey
Heat grill to medium high.
Whisk together lemon juice, dijon mustard, basil, oregano, parsley and honey.
Grill chicken breast brushing the chicken with dijon sauce liberally. When the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit remove it from the grill and cover with aluminum foil allowing it to sit for five minutes before serving.
See I told you it was easy. No go make it and see how yummy it is.

I gave up on kitchen thermometers after 2 Target thermometers died in less than 6 months and then I spent more money and went to William Sonoma and that thermometer died in less than a year. Honestly I used to worry but I just cut into the meat a little and can tell if it is cooked enough.
This dinner looks yummy!
That’s a bummer Michelle. My first thermometer lasted years and would probably still be going strong it I hadn’t dropped it when temping something in the oven. One of the buttons melted off, which spelled the end for that thermometer.
That sounds like a great recipe!
We use the digital thermometer a lot since my husband smokes meat. We found a really good one at Sur Le Table.
Thank Connie! I don’t worry about temping beef, seafood and pork as much as a do chicken. I always temp chicken. I guess I just can’t shake that old restaurant training.
I enjoy cooking…my son also enjoys cooking.
