Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
3. Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes until it reaches the ideal cooking temperature.

Step 2: Make the Honey Mustard Marinade

1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting.

Step 3: Marinate the Chicken

1. Place the chicken breasts in a dish or resealable bag.
2. Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat evenly.
3. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.

Step 4: Sear the Chicken

1. Place the chicken breasts on the center grill grate for about 2 minutes per side to get a perfect sear.
2. Once seared, move them to the flat cooktop at medium heat.

Step 5: Grill to Perfection

1. Brush the reserved marinade onto the chicken.
2. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 150°F.
3. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes to reach a final temperature of 165°F.

Tips

• Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
• Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
• Butter enhances flavor better than olive oil.
• Adjust cooking placement based on Arteflame’s heat zones.
