Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoons Dried basil
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess liquid.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
For OAMC (Once-A-Month Cooking) prep, allow the grilled chicken to cool completely after cooking. Wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap, then store in a labeled freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
