Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then drizzle both sides with olive oil.

Step 4

Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the chicken, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, mix fresh lemon juice and honey together to create a simple glaze. Set aside.

Step 6

Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the lemon-honey glaze over each side of the chicken to create a lightly caramelized finish.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes for the juices to redistribute, and slice if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
