Grilled Chicken with Mustard Sauce

Tired of plain, old grilled chicken? These tasty chicken breasts, brushed
with basil butter during grilling, and then served with a tangy mustard
sauce is a nice change from the ordinary. A green vegetable, tomato wedges,
and a garnish of fresh basil compliments the dish.

Serving Size: 4
Cuisine: American
Main Ingredient: Chicken
Categories: Grill

-= Ingredients =-
Basil Butter
1/4 C. Butter or margarine
1 tsp. Garlic powder
1 tsp. Fresh snipped basil ; or 1/4 tsp. dried
3/4 tsp. Onion powder
Mustard Sauce
1/3 C. Mayonnaise ; or salad dressing
2 Tbl. Dijon-style mustard
1-1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp. Dry mustard
dash Onion powder
dash Garlic powder
dash Ground white pepper
2 drops Bottled hot pepper sauce

-= Instructions =-
To make Basil Butter: In small saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over
low heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, the basil, and the 3/4 teaspoon
onion powder. Set aside.

To make the Mustard Sauce: Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl.
Refrigerate sauce until you are ready to serve.

To prepare the chicken: Trim any fat, rinse and pat dry. Place each breast
between two pieces of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outer
edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch
thickness. Remove plastic wrap.

Grill the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or until the chicken is tender and
no longer pink. Halfway through the grilling, turn the chicken over and
generously brush each with the Basil Butter Sauce. Serve the chicken with
the mustard sauce.

I have always served the Mustard Sauce cold, however, it can be served
warm. After mixing, place it in a small sauce pan and cook and stir until
heated through. Keep warm until serving.

I uaually double the sauce recipe to have extra on hand. It is excellent
on ham and roast beef as well.
