Balsamic Grilled Chicken Breast

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Balsamic Grilled Chicken Breast.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious balsamic chicken, start by whisking together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried basil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until everything is beautifully blended.

2. Step 2

   Next, take your chicken breasts and place them in a resealable plastic bag.

3. Step 3

   Pour in half of the marinade, seal the bag tightly, and let the chicken soak up those flavors in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or even overnight for a deeper taste.

4. Step 4

   Remember to set aside the remaining marinade for later use.

5. Step 5

   When you're ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C), and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep the chicken from sticking.

6. Step 6

   Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the bag and discard the used marinade.

7. Step 7

   Place the chicken on the hot grill and generously baste it with the reserved marinade.

8. Step 8

   Lower the grill heat to medium and cook the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side.

9. Step 9

   You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

10. Step 10

    As you flip the chicken, don’t forget to baste it again with that flavorful marinade.

11. Step 11

    Once cooked to perfection, take the chicken off the grill and cover it with foil.

12. Step 12

    Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow those juices to settle in before serving.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy your flavorful grilled balsamic chicken, perfect for a summer barbecue or a cozy dinner at home!.
