Description
Chicken breasts marinated in a simple balsamic rosemary mixture and cooked on the grill or in a skillet until caramelized and golden. Ready in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
Instructions
- Step: Combine the olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, crushed red pepper, and rosemary in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Mix until combined.
- Step: Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat well. Let sit for 5 minutes. If your chicken breasts are large, slice them in half horizontally first.
- Step: Remove the chicken from the marinade, keeping as much of the mixture on the chicken as possible. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Step: Cook on a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Fresh rosemary provides a more distinct aroma than dried. For a juicier result, chicken thighs can be used as a substitute for breasts. If using dried rosemary, use 1 teaspoon instead of 3.
