Expert Tips

Grill extra chicken breasts, then wrap and freeze to use in salads or sandwiches for another meal.
This is the perfect recipe for using up some mustard that’s been “hiding” in the refrigerator. Just about any variety you have—spicy brown, honey or coarse-grained—will blend with the honey, oregano and ground red pepper flavors you add.
