Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6-8 oz each)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

  • First, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ¾ inch. This ensures even cooking and tender results.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
  • Reserve about ¼ cup of the glaze for basting later. Use the remaining mixture to coat the chicken breasts thoroughly.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
  • Clean and oil your grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved glaze on both sides of the chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juices.
