Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
  4. Grill the chicken over direct heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
  5. Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.

Note: Make sure to adjust the grilling time based on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Thicker pieces may require a few extra minutes of grilling time.
