Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
For the 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
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried basil; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl whisk together honey, melted butter, mustards, hot sauce, vinegar, and paprika; whisk until combined and smooth. Remove ¼-cup of the honey mustard and put it in a bowl - we will use this for basting. Reserve the rest for later for dipping.
- Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
- Place chicken breasts on the grill and brown for 2 minutes; turn it over and brown for 2 more minutes.
- Brush the chicken breasts all over with half of the honey mustard basting sauce. Close the grill and cook the chicken for 7 minutes.
- Uncover, flip and brush the chicken with more basting sauce; continue to cook for 5 to 6 more minutes, or until cooked through. Chicken is cooked when internal temperature registers at 165˚F. The thicker the chicken breasts, the longer it will take to cook through.
- Remove cooked chicken from the grill and transfer to a cutting board; let stand 8 minutes.
- Slice the chicken and serve with reserved honey mustard sauce.
