On a perfect summer day filled with lounging around the pool, drinking a tall glass of lemonade, and spending time with family, I could always count on one thing -- ending the night with a grilled chicken dinner followed by s'mores made around the fire. If we weren't making barbecue chicken, we were making balsamic chicken with bruschetta. This recipe is an elevated version of this summer dinner I know and love. Pair it with my Bruschetta Pasta Salad for the ultimate summer meal!

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Slice your chicken breast in half and place in a large bowl.
  2. In a smaller bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade: balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, and oregano.
  3. Pour marinade into the larger bowl and massage into the chicken. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to let the chicken marinate -- the longer the better, but 1-2 hours works well!
  4. Place your grill plate or cast iron skillet on the stove over medium heat. Coat the bottom with olive oil.
  5. Once the oil is hot, lay down pieces of your chicken, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending upon the thickness, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

Notes

Feel like getting fancy -- play around with the type of balsamic vinegar you use. I've made this recipe with a chocolate balsamic vinegar for an earthy and slightly sweet element to it and with a ginger infused balsamic vinegar for a more asian-inspired route!
