Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Flip the chicken only once to ensure nice grill marks and even cooking.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep the chicken juicy and tender.
Step 7
Serve the grilled chicken hot, with your favorite side dishes such as grilled vegetables, salad, or rice. Enjoy!
