- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for more flavor).
