Ingredients
Scale
4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
About 30 minutes before grilling, take the marinated chicken out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once grilled, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices before slicing and serving with your favorite sides.
