Balsamic Chicken Breast
Juicy and tender chicken breast marinated in a tangy balsamic marinade and baked to perfection.
Equipment
- Grill Pan
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
Instructions
- Gently pound the chicken breast with the flat side of a meat mallet to about ½-inch thickness.
- Place 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a Ziploc bag. Add in the 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Seal the bag and gently press the marinade around the chicken to combine and evenly coat the chicken.
- Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill for 5 minutes.
- Add chicken breast onto the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°F.
Notes
Use a preheated oven or grill. Line your dish or sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easier clean-up. If baking, throw in some of your favorite veggies on a sheet pan for an easy one-sheet meal. Flatten the chicken gently to avoid smashing. Cover it in plastic wrap while flattening. Use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken is done – it should register 165°F. Serve with your favorite sides.
