# Ingredients:
→ Chicken
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
→ Honey Mustard Marinade
02 -
80 millilitres honey
03 -
80 millilitres Dijon mustard
04 -
15 millilitres fresh lemon juice
05 -
30 millilitres olive oil
06 -
10 millilitres soy sauce
07 -
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
08 -
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
09 -
0.5 teaspoon salt
10 -
1 teaspoon paprika
11 -
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
12 -
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
# Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, finely chopped garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, dried thyme, and black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly blended.
02 -
Place chicken breasts in a deep dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to 8 hours for enhanced flavour and tenderness.
03 -
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 190 to 205°C. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
04 -
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill chicken on hot grates for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 74°C is reached. Avoid pressing on the meat to retain juiciness.
05 -
Transfer grilled chicken to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with extra honey mustard sauce.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Marinating chicken for several hours intensifies flavour and improves tenderness.
02 -
If a grill is unavailable, chicken can be baked in an oven at 200°C for 20–25 minutes or cooked in a skillet on the stovetop.
03 -
Leftover chicken makes an excellent addition to wraps, sandwiches, or salads.
04 -
Do not reuse marinade that has been in contact with raw poultry. Reserve a separate portion of marinade from the start if serving with the grilled dish.
