Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then drizzle both sides with olive oil.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the chicken, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a separate small bowl, mix fresh lemon juice and honey together to create a simple glaze. Set aside.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the lemon-honey glaze over each side of the chicken to create a lightly caramelized finish.
Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes for the juices to redistribute, and slice if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
