Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the marinade is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the honey mustard marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Reserve the leftover marinade and set it aside for basting (optional).

Step 5

Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. If desired, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor (make sure the marinade is fully cooked if used).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken with your favorite sides!
