Apple Cider Vinegar Chicken
Description
Apple Cider Vinegar Chicken uses a simple marinade of apple cider vinegar combined with Italian seasoning, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to flavor boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The chicken is marinated for at least one hour and up to twelve, allowing the acidity of the vinegar to tenderize the meat while the herbs and seasoning add aromatic depth.
The chicken can be cooked on a hot grill or under a broiler, both methods providing a slightly charred exterior while maintaining a juicy interior. Cooking approximately five minutes on each side, the result is chicken that is no longer pink inside and is well-seasoned from the marinade.
This dish can be served immediately or cooled and stored for later, offering flexibility for meal preparation and leftovers. It pairs well with simple sides such as salads, vegetables, or grains to balance the tang and herb flavors from the marinade.
Ingredients
- 1-1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Whisk vinegar, Italian seasoning, oil, salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag.
- Add the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours. Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess and discard leftover marinade.
- Heat a grill or grill pan. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can also broil the chicken. Line a broiler pan (or a baking sheet) with foil and coat with cooking spray. Place the chicken on the foil. Broil, watching carefully so it doesn’t burn. Flip chicken after about 5 minutes. Let cook for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
- Enjoy chicken immediately or let cool, package in storage containers and save for later use.
