Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.

- Preheat your grill to medium heat (375-400°F / 190-205°C).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the hot grill.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
For a spicier marinade, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes. Substituting honey with maple syrup or agave nectar is a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
