Grilled Malibu Chicken
Grilled Malibu Chicken is a delicious way to dress up grilled chicken. Serve it with a baked potato and a green salad for a nice Sunday dinner, or on a bun and with fries for a tasty lunch. This Grilled Malibu Chicken is a much healthier version of the original (recipe HERE) that our family loves! Instead of being breaded and fried, this chicken is marinated in a tasty honey mustard vinaigrette, then grilled to perfection and topped with slices of fresh deli ham and provolone cheese. And we even have a delicious honey mustard yogurt dip to go along with it. I love this version because it has all the same wonderful flavors but without the guilt.
What Is Malibu Chicken?
Although there are several variations to Malibu chicken recipes, the main points of this dish include chicken breast, topped with Swiss cheese and ham, along with a honey mustard sauce.
Make It A Meal
This Grilled Malibu Chicken goes perfectly with our baked potato wedges (recipe HERE). It also makes an amazing lunch, just put in on a bun or sliced bread and use the honey mustard yogurt dip as a spread. Yum!

Sizzler was always our family’s favorite place to eat and sadly there isn’t one close to us anymore. Tried this recipe and it is even better – and healthier – than theirs! Thank you! Would be super excited if you have any more Sizzler copycat recipes to share.

So glad you liked it! We don’t have any other Sizzler recipes at the moment, do you have any requests?
S.M. says
Many years ago they served a Santa Fe chicken dish which was a grilled chicken breast with Santa Fe seasonings and topped with a poblano? pepper and served with a small container of salsa on the side. I guess that it was a true Sizzler recipe. When Sizzler left our area the restaurant was purchased by an individual who kept the same type of recipes. Now that restaurant is closed, too.

Amazing light and delicious

I am concerned that a lot of these recipes have sugar &/or processed foods in them. Does this mean they are still healthy, weight-loss meals?
Favorite Family Recipes says
These meals are lower-calorie and substitutions for the high-calorie alternatives. You can take it a step further and cut out any sugar or processed foods that you deem unhealthy if you would like.
