Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set up a charcoal grill for direct grilling.
Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small saucepan, combine yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and water. Stir together and place over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side, or until grill marks form and the chicken easily releases from the grates.
Flip the chicken and brush the grilled side generously with the mustard glaze. Cook the second side for another 5-6 minutes while brushing glaze on the other side.
Flip the chicken one last time, apply more glaze, and cook for 2-3 additional minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or coleslaw.
