Dijon Marinade Recipes

LIGHT & CREAMY DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine half & half, Dijon mustard, flour and salt in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 3-5 minutes or until mixture begins to thickened. (Do not boil.)
• Stir in green onions; remove from heat. Add butter, stirring constantly with whisk, until smooth.
• Serve sauce immediately over chicken breasts or fish.

HONEY DIJON CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Add the oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon Mustard, and salt to a gallon-sized freezer bag, seal, and shake. Either seal and refrigerate until ready to use, OR add 1.5-2 pounds chicken to the bag, seal, and squish around to make sure the chicken is covered in marinade. (Freezing instructions begin here.)
• Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Cook the chicken however you'd like (grill, slow cook, pressure cook, or bake). See tips below in the Notes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chicken in a casserole dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, until done.
• Place chicken and marinade in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Really! That's all it takes to get it done, otherwise you'll overcook and dry it out.
• Place chicken, marinade, and 1/3 cup chicken broth in a 6 quart Instant Pot. (Note: If using an 8 quart, add an additional 1/2 cup of broth.) Lock and seal the lid. Cook at high pressure for 7 minutes and use a quick release of the pressure when the cook time is up. (Note: It will take 10-15 minutes to come to pressure before the cook time starts.)
• Pound out the chicken to about 3/4 inch thick (or cut it in half lengthwise) to help with fast and even cooking. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and clean the grates well. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, maybe longer depending on the thickness, until done.

HONEY GARLIC DIJON PORK TENDERLOIN MARINADE

Steps:

• Place pork in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the pork and toss to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate the pork in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. Rotate the pork occasionally so that the marinade touches all sides.
• Set aside the remaining ½ of the marinade in a separate bowl, cover, and refrigerate for later.

DIJON CHICKEN

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl and dredge chicken in crumbs, leaving skins on. Place coated chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

BAKED CHICKEN LEGS WITH BEST MARINADE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all of the marinade ingredients and stir or whisk together until well blended .
• Transfer chicken legs to a large mixing bowl or a large ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss with your hands to evenly coat the chicken, pushing some of the marinade under the skin of each chicken leg for richer flavor. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate 6 hours or overnight, tossing chicken once while marinating.
• Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or a silpat. Arrange chicken skin-side-down and bring chicken to room temp while oven preheats. Brush chicken legs with any extra marinade left in the mixing bowl. Bake at 400˚F in the center of oven for 25 minutes skin-side-down then turn the chicken legs over and bake additional 25 minutes skin-side-up. For crispier skin, broil on high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until skins have browned.*
