1

Trim any excess fat from the chicken. Place a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment over each chicken breast on a sturdy, level surface, and pound the thick end to an even thickness.
2

Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the olive oil, Dijon, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, and ginger to the bag. Press out any excess air and seal tightly. Massage the chicken in the bag until the marinade is fully mixed and the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
3

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat, about 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and lightly oil the grate.
4

Place the chicken, top-side down, on the grill. Sprinkle evenly with salt. Cook without moving until the chicken releases easily from the grill and has dark brown grill marks, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) or medium, then flip and cook 5 to 7 minutes more, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (73 degrees C). Remove from the heat and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
