How to Make Becca S Balsamic Grilled Chicken

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
  5. Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Baste chicken with remaining balsamic glaze during the last few minutes of grilling for extra flavor.
  8. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
