Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of the sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest before serving will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This tomato balsamic barbecued chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
