Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic and pepper. Reserve about 3 Tbsp. of the marinade and set aside.
- Step 2: Place the chicken breasts into a resealable bag (or resealable container with lid), and pour the remainder of the marinade over the chicken. Coat chicken well and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- Step 3: Heat grill to medium-high. Treat grill grates with olive oil, or non-stick grilling spray. (If using spray, be sure to turn OFF the grill, spray, and then turn back on.) Place chicken over indirect heat, and grill approximately 6 minutes (per side.) Once you turn the chicken, brush with the reserved balsamic marinade, and let it cook for its final 6 minutes.
- Step 4: Remove chicken from grill, transfer to serving plate, and enjoy right away.
