Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, 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 the pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat a grill to medium heat.

Step 4

If baking, arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer on a baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.

Step 5

If grilling, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess. Cook the chicken on the grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

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

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add a touch of freshness and color.

Step 8

Serve warm with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or salad. Enjoy!
