Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they're an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Reserve 1/3 cup of the honey mustard mixture for later use and set it aside.
Place the chicken breasts into a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the remaining mixture over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for stronger flavor).
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved honey mustard mixture over the chicken to create a glossy glaze.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, rice, or a summer salad.
