Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts feel free to sub chicken thighs
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1 teaspoon Italian blend herbs or Herbs de Provence
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  1. Stir together oil, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, dried herbs and red pepper flakes. 
  2. Pour into a large ziploc bag along with the chicken, press the excess air out of the bag, seal, and chill for 30 minutes. 
  3. Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a preheated grill or grill pan on the stove. Discard marinade. Cook chicken for 6-10 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) over medium heat until cooked through ( juices should run clear when you cut into the thickest part of the chicken). Serve immediately. 

Notes

  • Chicken should be marinated for a minimum of 30 minutes, but will develop deeper flavor if marinated up to 8 hours or overnight. 
  • To reheat this chicken, cut into bite-size pieces and microwave on a plate with a wet paper towel or an up-turned tupperware container over the top to keep all that juicy moisture in.
