Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

For the Basting Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons dijon mustard

For the Broccoli

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste

For Garnish

  • Chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Whisk together 1/3 cup dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil, then pour this mixture over the chicken. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
  2. Preheat and prepare the grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling to bring it to room temperature, ensuring even cooking.
  3. Prepare the basting sauce: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons honey and 3 tablespoons dijon mustard. This will be used to glaze the chicken during grilling to add extra flavor and shine.
  4. Season the broccoli: Place broccoli florets in a bowl, drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, and season generously with kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat evenly. Spread the broccoli on a grill pan or on 2 to 3 folded layers of aluminum foil shaped into a tray if you don’t have a grill pan.
  5. Grill the chicken: Place the chicken thighs directly on the hot grill. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on one side, flip, and cook another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). In the last 2 to 3 minutes, brush the chicken with the prepared honey mustard basting sauce to add a glossy, flavorful finish.
  6. Grill the broccoli: While the chicken cooks, place the broccoli on the grill pan or foil tray on the other side of the grill. Close the grill lid and cook, tossing every few minutes, until the broccoli is charred and golden, about 10 minutes, adjusting cooking time to your preferred level of crispness.
  7. Serve: Remove chicken and broccoli from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives if desired and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken overnight if possible for maximum flavor.
  • If you don’t have a grill pan, use aluminum foil shaped like a tray to hold the broccoli on the grill.
  • Adjust grilling times based on the thickness of your chicken thighs and grill heat.
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling helps keep it juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is safely cooked to 165°F (74°C).
