Can I make the honey mustard sauce ahead of time?

Yes. The sauce can be made up to one week in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. The flavors actually deepen and integrate more fully after a day of resting in the refrigerator making the sauce taste more cohesive and complex when made ahead. Whisk or stir thoroughly before using as the butter will have solidified during cold storage.

Can I use only one type of mustard if I don't have all three?

Yes. If only one type of mustard is available, Dijon is the most complex and flavorful choice and produces the best single-mustard honey mustard sauce. Yellow mustard produces a more classic and familiar American honey mustard flavor. Wholegrain mustard alone produces a rustic and deeply textured sauce. Any single mustard in the same combined quantity as the three mustards specified produces a genuinely delicious result.

What if I don't have a grill?

The recipe can be made entirely on the stovetop. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through to 165°F. Baste with the honey mustard in the final 2 minutes of cooking on each side in exactly the same way as on the grill. The result is equally delicious with beautiful golden caramelization from the skillet.
