Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and lightly pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil onto the chicken breasts, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, and thyme leaves until well combined. Set aside the sauce for later use.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Let rest for 5 minutes to retain juiciness.
Generously spoon the honey mustard herb sauce over the grilled chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
