Balsamic Grilled Chicken

Dr. Sweetpea loves Balsamic Vinegar so when I saw this marinade using Balsamic Vinegar as an ingredient, I had to try it! It's so simple to make and the end result is so delicious! I served the chicken with homemade pita bread. I'll post the recipe for that in a few days.


Balsamic Grilled Chicken

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, brown sugar, Worcestershire, garlic, thyme, oregano and rosemary; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reserve 1/4 cup and set aside. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine balsamic vinegar mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 1 hour to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Add chicken to grill and cook, flipping once and basting with reserved 1/4 cup marinade until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
