Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1/4 cup pure honey
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).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). If baking, place chicken in a greased dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
