Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
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.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade.
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.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
