Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe - Delicious and Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup honey (preferably raw)
  • 1 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice.

    Whisk thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

    The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).

    Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

    Avoid pressing down on the chicken to retain its juices.
  5. Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with your choice of sides.

    Pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
