Description

A quick and easy grilled chicken breast recipe that ensures juicy, flavorful chicken in just 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinade the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure each piece is well coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 200°C (400°F).
  4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on one side.
  5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the chicken using tongs and grill for another 5-7 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
  6. Let It Rest: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
