Best 5 Grilled Balsamic Chicken Breast Recipes

JUICY BALSAMIC GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
• Tenderize the chicken breasts using a meat tenderizer. Then place them in a Ziploc marinade bag, and pour the marinade mixture over top. Close the bag tightly and squish it around to coat the chicken. Place the bag on a plate and put it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 3 hours.
• Grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, until no longer pink inside or until the internal temperature reads 160 degrees. This simple digital meat thermometer will change your grilling game forever!
• Remove the chicken breasts to a platter to rest and cover with a tent of aluminum foil for 10 minutes.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and slowly add to the balsamic sauce. Stir until thickened. Toss chicken strips in balsamic sauce and serve.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN {EASY MARINADE}

Steps:

• Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag (or you can use a bowl).
• In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Pour marinade over chicken in bag (or bowl). Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
• Rub marinade over chicken (I also like to twist and tie top of bag so marinade fully covers the chicken).
• Let marinade in fridge for 2 to 8 hours for breasts and 2 to 24 hours for thighs.
• Heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. Partway through heating don't forget to clean and oil grill grates (with a little vegetable oil or olive oil using tongs and a balled up paper towel).
• Remove chicken from marinade while shaking excess marinade off back into bag. Transfer to grill and cook covered about 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Cook time varies based on thickness, check internal temperature of chicken in thickest portion to 165 degrees for doneness.
• Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
