Instructions

In a bowl, mix all the honey mustard marinade ingredients until well combined.
Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Shortly before the chicken finishes marinating, preheat an indoor or outdoor grill.
Place the chicken tenderloins on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 3–4 minutes per side, or until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Garnish with chopped parsley, lemon slices, and rosemary stems before serving.

Notes

You can marinate the chicken up to 2 days ahead in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Outdoor grilling gives the chicken a smoky, chargrilled flavor. An indoor grill also works well.
