Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it creates a smooth and cohesive marinade.

    Marinate the Chicken: Take the chicken breasts and place them in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the honey mustard marinade over the chicken, ensuring that every piece is generously coated. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if you prefer an intensified flavor.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches a suitable cooking temperature for optimal grilling.

        Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken breasts onto the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them for proper grill marks. Flip the chicken over and continue grilling for another 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature hits 165°F (75°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

          Rest and Serve: After cooking, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color. Serve warm alongside your choice of sides, such as grilled seasonal vegetables or a crisp, refreshing salad.
