Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup light brown sugar unpacked
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the brown sugar, oil, soy sauce, and vinegar in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Add the marinade to a container that can be sealed airtight or a zip top style bag.
- Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet (or even a rolling pin works).
- Place the chicken in the container with the marinade.
- Seal up the container and mix around to make sure all of the chicken is covered.
- Place in the refrigerator for 2-24 hours.
- When you're ready to grill, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and preheat the grill to medium heat (about 375ºF-400ºF).
- Once the grill is preheated, oil the grates. Place the chicken breasts on the grill for about 7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute (it makes a big difference!).
- Serve and enjoy!
