Easy Grilled Chicken

By -
We tried this tonight and it was easy and really good! We did it for only two larger chicken breasts. It calls for four. I didn't use the parsley garnish. No picture, but "picture" a nice piece of charred chicken. You know my piece of chicken was on the grill for more than 12 minutes! Really nice flavour. You could just bake this in the oven too, in winter, and maybe broil it to get it a wee bit crispy.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, brown sugar, Worcestershire, garlic, thyme, oregano and rosemary; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reserve 1/4 cup and set aside.
  2. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine balsamic vinegar mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 1 hour to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
  3. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Add chicken to grill and cook, flipping once and basting with reserved 1/4 cup marinade until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side.
  4. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Add yeast mixture and remaining 1 1/2 cups warm water and stir until smooth, then stir in 1 cup more flour.

Knead dough on a lightly floured surface with floured hands, lightly reflouring work surface and your hands when dough becomes too sticky, until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 10 minutes.
