Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• ½ cup honey

• Juice of ½ a lemon

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  
  

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Grill the Chicken:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Rest and Serve:
Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
