Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Chicken:
  • In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over it.
  • Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
  • Grill the Chicken:
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off.
  • Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve And Enjoy:
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
  • Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad!

Notes

  • Want More Flavor? Add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika to the marinade.
  • No Grill? Cook in a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Prefer a Glaze? Reduce leftover marinade in a saucepan for 2-3 minutes and brush over cooked chicken.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
