1 Ingredients

Qty	Item
1.5 lbs 680 g	Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
0.25 cup 60 ml	Dijon Mustard
0.25 cup 60 ml	Honey
2 tbsp 30 ml	Yellow Mustard
2 tbsp 30 ml	Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp 15 ml	Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp 5 g	Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp 2.5 g	Smoked Paprika
1 tsp 6 g	Kosher Salt
0.5 tsp 1 g	Black Pepper

2 Instructions

Step 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, yellow mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 2. Transfer 1/4 cup of the sauce to a small bowl and set aside to use for basting and serving later.

Step 3. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and lightly pound them with a meat mallet to an even 3/4-inch thickness.

Step 4. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over it. Coat evenly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).

Step 5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) and lightly oil the grates.

Step 6. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved sauce onto the chicken.

Step 7. Remove the chicken from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

·
Pounding the chicken to an even thickness ensures all pieces cook at the same rate and stay juicy.
·
Don't skip the resting period; it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
·
For an extra smoky flavor, add a drop of liquid smoke to the marinade.
·
Clean your grill grates thoroughly and oil them right before adding the chicken to prevent sticking.

? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely. Chicken thighs are more forgiving and stay very juicy on the grill. Increase the cook time by about 2-3 minutes per side.

Can I make this in the oven?

Yes, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

How long should I marinate the chicken?

For best results, 30 minutes to 2 hours is ideal. Avoid marinating longer than 12 hours as the vinegar can start to break down the texture of the meat.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Most mustard and honey brands are naturally gluten-free, but always check your labels to ensure there are no hidden thickeners or additives.
