Honey Balsamic Chicken

All natural Western Mesquite BBQ chips infuse amazing flavor in this recipe for Grilled Honey Balsamic Chicken.
Ingredients:

5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 TSP olive oil
⅔ TSP kosher salt
½ TSP ground black pepper
½ TSP paprika
1 TSP onion powder

For the Honey Balsamic Sauce:  
3 TBSP honey
3 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1½ TBSP ketchup
3 TSP minced garlic
1 TSP fresh thyme   
Directions:
  1. Mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder together. Coat the chicken with the mixture.
  2. In another bowl, mix the honey, balsamic vinegar, ketchup, garlic and thyme together. Pour about ⅓ of the mixture on top of the chicken. Put the chicken and marinade into a bag and let marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
  3. For a gas grill, preheat to medium-high and place Western Mesquite Wood Chips in a smoking tray or arrange in a foil pack and place directly over the hottest part of the grill. For a charcoal grill, prepare a fire and then place a handful of Western Mesquite Chips directly on your hot coals or place chips in a smoking tray and place on the grill.
  4. When the grill is hot and the chips are smoking, place marinated chicken on medium-hot grill. Cover and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 170 degrees. For best results, at least half of the cooking time should be with the lid closed to infuse the wood chip flavor.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill, cool, and then serve.
