Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice of half a lemon. Whisk until blended and smooth.
  2. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade, place them in a resealable bag or dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat around 375°F to 400°F. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Grill the corn alongside the chicken for the last 10 minutes, turning occasionally until slightly charred and tender.
  6. Remove chicken, let it rest for 5 minutes, slice into strips, and combine with grilled corn and mixed greens in a large bowl.
  7. Drizzle remaining honey-mustard dressing over the salad, toss gently to coat, and serve.
