Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and 1 tsp salt. Brush half the mixture onto both sides of chicken breasts, then let marinate for 15 minutes while preparing vegetables.
  2. Step 2: Thread corn slices and zucchini rounds onto skewers, brushing lightly with avocado oil. Season both sides with remaining salt and pepper.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Place chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and grill marks appear.
  4. Step 4: Add vegetable skewers to the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until tender-crisp with light char marks.
  5. Step 5: Brush remaining honey-mustard mixture over grilled chicken just before serving. Serve chicken with grilled vegetables alongside a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
