Servings: 6

Here’s what you need...

• 4 Tablespoons honey
• 4 Tablespoons spicy mustard
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon minced garlic
• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1. Pre-heat your grill. If using coals, heat until the coals turn gray and there are no longer strong flames, 35-45 minutes.
2. Combine honey, mustard, lemon peel, soy sauce and garlic. Mix well. Reserve a few tablespoons of the sauce. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
3. Cook the chicken 5 to 6 minutes per side. Brush with the reserved sauce, and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes per side, until chicken registers 170 degrees F on a meat thermometer. Serve with a side of veggies. Enjoy!
