GRILLING SEASON IS HERE. Hurray! And this recipe is so simple, that you’ll find it becomes a go-to weeknight dinner. Wait! We know what you’re thinking: A mayo marinade? Ew. But trust us, it works. Fat from the mayo fries the chicken, and it disappears on the grill, keeping the strips moist, tender, and delicious. Even if your kids hate mayo, don’t worry: They’ll love these strips! Bonus: This recipe doubles easily.
Mayo-magic chicken strips
serves 2-4
Ingredients-
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into long, thin strips (about ½ inch wide)
⅓ cup full-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Colman’s Original English Mustard
Directions-
- Preheat your outdoor grill for high heat.
- Coat the chicken strips on all sides with mayonnaise and mustard. (Don’t let the mixture marinate or sit for more than 15 minutes.)
- Grill the strips for 5 to 7 minutes over high heat. Turn the strips and grill 2 to 4 more minutes or until completely cooked.
- Variations: Mix 2 tablespoons of your favorite sauce (Sriracha, barbecue or ranch) or dry seasonings (taco, fajita, steak or herb) into the mayo marinade.
*Substitutions: You can use any mustard (or none) for this recipe, but we recommend Colman’s for its strong, spicy kick.
Mustard with kick! Colman’s Original English Mustard is one of the oldest food brands in the world with 200 years under the Colman name. In 1814, Jeremiah Colman first advertised
his spicy-hot mustard in the Norwich Chronicle. He made his mustard at a water mill just south of Norwich, and his business was family-run. Made from a blend of high-quality brown and white mustard seeds, it’s still produced in Norwich today under the ownership of Unilever. See colmansusa.com for more details and recipes.
