Ingredients

Mustard Chicken Marinade:

4 small chicken breasts (or two large breasts sliced in half lengthwise
1/2 Cup brown sugar packed
¼ cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh squeezed
2 Tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 Tablespoon Yellow mustard
3 garlic cloves minced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Creamy Mustard Sauce:

1/2 Cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Mustard Chicken Marinade:

Place the chicken in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag, set it aside.
Mix the brown sugar, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, grainy mustard, yellow mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
Pour the marinade over the chicken. Close the bag and massage marinade into the chicken, making sure it is coated. Place the chicken in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours or overnight.
Preheat the grill over medium heat, oil the grates. Grill the chicken, flipping halfway through until an internal temperature reaches 165°F degrees, 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside until ready to assemble sandwiches, or serve as is!

Creamy Mustard Sauce:

Place the mayonnaise, sugar grainy mustard, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Place in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the sandwiches.

Mustard Grilled Chicken Sandwiches:

Place chicken on sandwich rolls (I used a sweet roll, yum!) and add your favorite toppings. I tossed some shredded lettuce in the creamy mustard sauce, put that on the bottom of the bun.
Next, sliced tomatoes, chicken, sliced red onion, and more creamy mustard sauce on the underside of the top bun! Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Buns are not calculated in nutritional value.
Top with your favorite toppings to really make this sandwich yours.
You can easily double this recipe to serve more people.
You will want to marinate the chicken for at least 6-8 hours if not overnight for best flavor results.
The sauce is optional but it really does make this sandwich.
White vinegar can be used in place of apple cider vinegar. If you don’t have lemons you can substitute more vinegar.
Dijon mustard also works in place of either mustard or substitute for all dijon.
