Herb-Marinated Grilled Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herb-Marinated Grilled Chicken.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious marinade for your chicken, start by blending together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, minced rosemary, chopped thyme, dried sage, salt, and pepper in a blender.

2. Step 2

   Blend until everything is well combined and smooth, creating a fragrant mixture that will elevate your dish.

3. Step 3

   Next, take your chicken breasts and place them in a glass dish or bowl.

4. Step 4

   Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is generously coated.

5. Step 5

   Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or if you have the time, up to 48 hours for an even richer flavor.

6. Step 6

   When you're ready to cook, fire up your grill to medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.

7. Step 7

   Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the dish, shaking off any excess marinade, and discard the leftover marinade.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to grill! Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side.

   You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
