Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
salt and freshly ground 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

Prep. Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat.
Prepare the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried basil; set aside.
Make the honey mustard. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, mustards, hot sauce, vinegar, and paprika 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.
Grill. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Place the 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.
Continue to grill. 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 its internal temperature registers at 165˚F. The thicker the chicken breasts, the longer it will take to cook through.
Rest and serve. Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a cutting board; let it rest for 8 minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it with the reserved honey mustard sauce.
