Instructions
Marinade Preparation:
-
1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
-
2. Reserve a small portion of the marinade for brushing while grilling. The rest will be used for marinating the chicken.
Marinating the Chicken:
-
1. Place the chicken steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
-
2. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.
-
3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the chicken.
Grilling:
-
1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
-
2. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
-
3. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt on both sides.
-
4. Place the chicken steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
-
5. While grilling, occasionally brush the reserved marinade on the chicken for an extra burst of flavor and to keep them moist.
Serve:
-
1. Once cooked, remove the chicken steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
2. Serve the grilled chicken steaks with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or garlic mashed potatoes.

Tips and Recommendations
- For a smokier flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade.
- If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- To achieve those beautiful grill marks, make sure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled before placing the chicken on them.
- Feel free to adjust the level of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
- To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer – the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Experiment with different side dishes and sauces to complement the flavors of the grilled chicken steak.
