Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except for the chicken.
  • Place the chicken in a large ziplock bag.  Pour the marinade on top of the chicken in the bag.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Then preheat the grill to 350 degrees F. Gently brush the grates of the grill with the oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per size until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Then remove the chicken from the grill, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Then it’s ready to slice and enjoy.

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
We use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature before eating.
