Chicken Breasts with Tarragon-Mustard Paste

1. 1

   Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on medium-high.

2. 2

   In a bowl or baking dish large enough to hold the chicken, combine the mustard, olive oil, tarragon, and pepper.

3. 3

   Stir to mix thoroughly.

4. 4

   Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat on both sides.

5. 5

   Set aside until the grill is ready.

6. 6

   To create a cool zone, bank the coals to one side of the grill or turn off one of the burners.

7. 7

   Oil the grill grate.

8. 8

   Place the chicken breasts, skin side down, directly over the medium-hot fire and sear on one side, about 5 minutes.

9. 9

   Turn and sear on the other side for 5 minutes.

10. 10

    Move the chicken breasts to the cooler part of the grill, cover, and grill until the juices run clear when the thickest part of a chicken breast is pierced with a knife, or an instant-read thermometer registers 165F, 5 to 7 minutes longer.

11. 11

    Divide the chicken breasts among warmed plates.

12. 12

    Serve immediately.
