Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
(You can use your preferred cut of chicken)- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
(Spicy mustard works if you like a stronger flavor)- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
(To add a balanced touch of acidity) - 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon slices and fresh thyme for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix honey, mustard, olive oil, white vinegar, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Tip: Taste the marinade, and adjust the sweetness and acidity balance to your liking.
- Marinate the chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and ensure they’re well coated.
- Tip: Let the chicken sit in the marinade for 15-30 minutes to deepen the flavor, but you can cook it immediately if you’re in a hurry.
- Grill the chicken:
- Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and beautifully golden.
- Tip: Don’t worry if the chicken looks glossy—it’s the honey caramelizing for that perfect shine.
- Add extra marinade:
- In the last 2 minutes of cooking, pour any remaining marinade over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve:
