Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Place your chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish, then cover generously with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  3. Heat your grill to medium (between 350-450°F). Clean the grates and brush lightly with oil.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place it on the hot grill. Grill each side for 6-8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. After grilling, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve, garnished with chopped parsley and fresh orange slices.
