Grilled fruity balsamic chicken with cilantro salad. image

Fire up your grill for this elegant and tasty summer meal. The balsamic glaze can be made up to a week ahead and kept until you're ready to use it. This is quick and easy to make but also very impressive. My entry in the "Ready, Set, Cook" competition.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the glaze was burnt.

The chicken was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the marinade.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less balsamic vinegar in the glaze.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the glaze is to die for.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the balsamic glaze helped to add some moisture. Overall, it was a good dish.
