Description
A delicious and easy recipe for grilled chicken marinated in a balsamic vinegar and honey mixture, served with blistered tomatoes and fresh basil.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for grilling)
- 1 cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sliced fresh basil
Instructions
- Add the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, paprika, and salt to a large bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate for at least 3-4 hours (up to 8 hours) in the fridge.
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat (375-450°F). Brush the grates with some olive oil, if desired, to prevent sticking. If using an indoor grill pan, preheat over medium-high and brush with oil.
- Add the marinated chicken and grill until thoroughly cooked through to 165°F, about 8-10 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, add the cherry or grape tomatoes and olive oil to a cast-iron skillet set on the still-hot grill (or set over medium heat on the stovetop), and sauté until burst and beginning to char, about 5 minutes.
- Optional: Pour the remaining balsamic marinade into a saucepan and simmer until it forms a thick and syrupy glaze, at least 2-3 minutes. Drizzle or brush the glaze over the grilled chicken.
- Garnish the sliced grilled chicken with fresh basil and the blistered cherry tomatoes.
Notes
- Grilling times may vary based on your grill and thickness of the chicken breasts.
- For best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
