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

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, soy sauce, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. 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).
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. 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.
  5. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
