Servings: 4

Ingredients

Olive oil (1/4 cup)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
Paprika (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Chicken breasts (4 (about 6 oz each))
Dijon mustard (1/4 cup)
Honey (3 tablespoons)
Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons)
Apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a robust marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well-coated, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for optimal flavor infusion.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach a steady temperature for that perfect char.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade to prevent flare-ups on the grill.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is juicy and cooked through.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the honey mustard sauce by combining the Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Once the chicken is grilled to perfection, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled chicken drizzled with the honey mustard sauce or on the side for dipping. Enjoy this deliciously balanced dish!
