What You’ll Need

Serves 6

  • 4 tablespoons honey (the sweet hero of this recipe!)
  • 4 tablespoons spicy mustard (for that irresistible tang)
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel (a zesty twist)
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce (adding a savory punch)
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic (because garlic makes everything better)
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (the protein-packed star of the show)

How to Make It

  1. Prep Your Grill: Get your grill sizzling! If you’re using charcoal, heat it up until the coals are glowing gray with no strong flames—this takes about 35-45 minutes. Perfect grilling starts with perfect heat.
  2. Whisk Up the Magic: In a bowl, mix together the honey, mustard, lemon peel, soy sauce, and garlic. This is your sweet and tangy glaze, aka the magic potion for transforming chicken into a flavor sensation! Set aside a few tablespoons of the glaze for basting.
  3. Marinate for Greatness: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, pour in the glaze, and let them soak up all that deliciousness in the fridge for about 40 minutes. The longer they marinate, the more flavorful they’ll be!
  4. Grill to Perfection: Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side. Brush with the reserved glaze for an extra boost of flavor and continue grilling for another 3-4 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken reaches 170°F—juicy and fully cooked!
  5. Serve and Savor: Plate your beautifully grilled chicken with a side of steamed or grilled veggies and enjoy the sweet, tangy masterpiece you’ve created.
