Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the chicken and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or oven. For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. For baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

If baking, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
