Grilled Tarragon Mustard Chicken
Tender grilled chicken, marinated in the FoodSaver
®
Quick Marinating Canister, is a perfect foundation for
any meal!
3 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves
(about 8 pieces)
1 cup Tarragon Mustard Marinade (below), divided
1 Tbsp. lowfat margarine
½ cup dry white wine
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill to medium high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the FoodSaver
®
Quick
Marinating Canister, cover with 1/2-cup marinade and vacuum seal. Marinate for 20 minutes. Remove the
chicken from the canister and discard the marinade. Lightly wipe the grill rack with cooking oil. Place the
chicken breasts on the grill and cook over medium-high heat until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Turn the chicken and cook until the meat is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 170° F
on an instant read thermometer. When the chicken is pierced with a fork, the juices should run clear. While
the chicken is grilling, melt the margarine in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the remaining
marinade and wine and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce at a high simmer, stirring constantly until slightly
thickened. Reduce the heat to low and simmer another 4 minutes. To serve, place 4 grilled chicken pieces
on a platter and ladle the sauce over each. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
Cool the remaining 4 grilled chicken breasts, separate into individual portion control sizes, vacuum seal
and freeze.
