Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, ranch seasoning mix, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them.
Flip the chicken breasts and continue cooking for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
