Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- chicken breast
- dijon mustard
- salt and pepper
- fresh cilantro
- parsley
- paprika
- thyme
- garlic
- honey
- soy sauce
- ginger
- olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub the seasonings to coat evenly.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and grill marks appear. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, and fresh lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once the chicken breasts are grilled, let them rest for a few minutes. Using a brush, coat one side of the chicken breasts with the prepared sauce. Turn the chicken breasts 90 degrees and brush the other side with the sauce, creating a checkered pattern.
- Slice the checkered chicken breasts diagonally. Arrange on a serving plate and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve the checkered chicken breast hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
