Mix Marinade:
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and ranch dressing. Whisk until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a smooth marinade. -
Marinate Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated. Seal the dish or bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and penetrate the chicken. -
Preheat Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. -
Grill Chicken:
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). -
Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the grilled Honey-Dijon Ranch Chicken to a serving platter. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
