Ingredients
Chicken & Marinade
- 2 each Chicken Breasts about 6 ounces each, boneless
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard or your preferred mustard
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, preferred
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Optional additions
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder for extra flavor
- 1/2 tsp Paprika smoked paprika adds a smoky depth
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and optionally garlic powder and paprika.
Marinate the Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat Your Grill
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. A clean, hot grill is crucial for achieving those beautiful grill marks.
Grill the Chicken
- Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Serve as a main course or use sliced chicken in salads or sandwiches.
