Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and brush both sides generously with the mustard-herb glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the glaze is slightly caramelized and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices.
