    How to Make Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken Breasts

    1. Pound Chicken Breasts

    Gently pound the chicken breasts between sheets of parchment or plastic wrap to a uniform thickness of about half an inch to ensure even cooking.

    2. Prepare Spice Blend

    In a bowl, mix together the dark brown sugar, ground coriander, kosher salt, dry mustard powder, and cayenne to create the spice blend.

    3. Marinate Chicken

    Rub the spice blend onto the chicken breasts thoroughly and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

    4. Preheat Grill

    Preheat the grill to high heat in preparation for cooking the chicken.

    5. Grill Chicken

    Brush the chicken lightly with extra-virgin olive oil and grill for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until it develops grill marks and is cooked through.

    6. Make Mustard Sauce

    Whisk together the Dijon mustard with fresh chives and a splash of olive oil to create a creamy mustard sauce.

    7. Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken with the Dijon mustard sauce on the side.
