Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup honey, 6 roasted garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Blend until smooth to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Season 4 chicken breasts evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Brush half of the honey-garlic glaze on both sides of the chicken.
  3. Step 3: Place chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining glaze every 3 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is caramelized and glossy.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from the grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm with any remaining glaze drizzled over the top.
