Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken combines tender, seasoned chicken breasts with a flavorful homemade honey mustard sauce, resulting in a dish that's both juicy and rich in taste. This recipe is perfect for outdoor grilling but can also be prepared indoors using a grill pan. The honey mustard sauce serves a dual purpose: it's used for basting the chicken during grilling and as a dipping sauce when serving.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon dried thyme

• ½ teaspoon dried basil
  
  

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

• ¼ cup honey

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

• 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

• 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)

• ½ teaspoon white vinegar

• ⅛ teaspoon paprika
  
  

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, wholegrain mustard, hot sauce (if using), white vinegar, and paprika until smooth.
   Set aside ¼ cup of the sauce for basting; reserve the remaining sauce for dipping.

2. Season the Chicken:
   Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried basil.

3. Grill the Chicken:
   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
   Place the chicken breasts on the grill and brown for 2 minutes on one side; flip and brown for another 2 minutes on the other side.
   Brush the chicken with half of the reserved basting sauce. Close the grill lid and cook for 7 minutes.
   Uncover, flip the chicken, and brush with the remaining basting sauce. Continue to cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4. Serve:
   Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 8 minutes.
   Slice the chicken and serve with the reserved honey mustard dipping sauce.
