Instructions
- Mix together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, whisking until well combined.
- Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure all pieces are well-coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Heat a stove-top grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
- Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and set aside the remaining marinade for basting.
- Place the chicken on the hot grill pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without disturbing it to get good grill marks. Flip the chicken and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- During the last few minutes of cooking, you can brush the chicken with a little of the reserved marinade for extra flavor. Avoid basting in the final 2 minutes of cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer to a plate. Cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve and enjoy!
