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:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
- 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.
- Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- 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.
