Equipment
- Grill
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Chicken & Marinade
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2–4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
Notes
Marinating longer intensifies flavor and helps tenderize the chicken. Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Leftovers keep well in the fridge up to 3 days.
