Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix mustard, honey, olive oil, vinegar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small measuring cup or bowl.
    ⅓ cup country or coarse ground Dijon mustard, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon paprika, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Pour over chicken in a baking dish or a zip-top bag. Place in fridge and marinate for up to 4 hours. When ready to cook, remove chicken from marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Cook the chicken using one of the methods below.
    2 to 4 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Grill: Grill chicken over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through(165°F internal temperature). Cooking time will vary depending on thickness of meat and exact grill temperature. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chicken in greased baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
  • Air Fry: Preheat air fryer at 375°F for five minutes. Place chicken in air fryer in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip, and continue to cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is done (165°F internal temperature). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Yield: Makes just under one cup of marinade, which is enough marinade for two to four pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts. If using marinade for larger amounts of chicken, I recommend increasing the salt to at least 1 ¼ teaspoons. 
  • Chicken: If you prefer, other cuts of chicken can be used, including bone-in, skin-on chicken. 
  • Nutrition: Nutrition information is calculated for the whole amount of marinade but no chicken. Since most of the marinade is discarded after marinating the chicken, the nutrition information is not very accurate.
