Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tsp smoked paprika, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) in a shallow dish and pour half of the smoky paprika glaze over them, turning to coat evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the remaining glaze, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred at the edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with extra glaze on the side.
