# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

→ Marinade

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 2 teaspoons soy sauce
05 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon paprika
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
10 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
11 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly mixed.
02 - Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
03 - Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, allowing the grates to heat for several minutes.
04 - Remove chicken from the marinade, discarding excess liquid. Grill chicken breasts for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning once, until well-browned and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Transfer chicken to a clean plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For optimal moisture and flavor, avoid overcooking the chicken; use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F at the thickest point.
