Drescription

Sweet-tart balsamic vinegar spiked with garlic and Italian seasoning makes a fast and flavorful marinade for chicken. Serve with sliced tomatoes and grilled eggplant slices.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1-1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (see note)

Directions

  1. Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. Remove from the marinade and pat dry.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high or position a rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler.
  4. To grill: Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 8 minutes per side.
  5. To broil: Line a broiler pan (or baking sheet) with foil and coat with cooking spray. Place the chicken on the foil. Broil, watching carefully and turning at least once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes total.
