Instructions

Prepare your ingredients: Wash all produce and let chicken reach room temperature.
Make the marinade: Whisk together mustard, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and herbs in a bowl.
Marinate the chicken: Place chicken in a resealable bag or dish; pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
Preheat grill or oven: Set your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the chicken: Remove from marinade and cook on the grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Baste & serve: Brush remaining marinade onto chicken during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor. Let rest before serving.
