Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the grilled Dijon chicken warm with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
