Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the chicken and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or oven. For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. For baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
If baking, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
