Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
