Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine the mustard, avocado oil, honey, salt, and water. Stir until smooth.
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a medium glass container and pour the marinade over it, ensuring all sides are coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Serve: Discard any extra marinade before serving.
