Description
Juicy, deeply seasoned grilled chicken with a savory-sweet marinade that caramelizes beautifully on the grill.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika recommended)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Whisk the marinade until the honey and Dijon fully dissolve into the soy and olive oil.
- Marinate the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish, coating well with the marinade.
- Chill and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; longer for deeper flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high and clean/oil the grates.
- Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, until reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Rest the chicken for 3–5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
Ensure even thickness for chicken breasts for even cooking. Avoid rush when preheating the grill.
