Sweet and spicy chicken with pepper and okra garnish in foil on the grill topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 200g each)
- 0.5 cup honey mustard
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons chipotle hot sauce
- 340 g fresh okra, trimmed
- 220 g small sweet peppers of different colors, trimmed, large ones cut in half
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil + extra for grilling
- Chopped fresh chives, for serving
- Cornbread, for serving (optional)
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, whisk together the honey mustard, molasses, vinegar, melted butter, and hot sauce until smooth; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer 1/4 cup of the sauce to a small bowl for brushing the chicken; set the rest aside for serving.
- In a bowl, combine the okra and bell peppers with vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Tear off a 40 cm (16 in) piece of foil. Arrange the vegetables on the left side of the foil. Fold the right side over the vegetables and press the edges to form a parcel.
- Brush the grill grate with vegetable oil. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper and grill until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side. Brush with honey mustard sauce; cover and grill until almost cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Uncover and continue grilling, turning the chicken and brushing with the remaining sauce, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
- Meanwhile, place the foil packet on the grill and grill the vegetables, turning halfway through, until tender and charred, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle the chicken with green onions; serve with grilled vegetables, cornbread, and the reserved honey mustard sauce.
