Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts trimmed of any fat
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 shallot chopped finely
  • Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken by combining the vinegar, Dijon, olive oil, basil, parsley, garlic, shallot, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in a large zip-lock bag. Add the chicken and smoosh it around to coat the meat.  Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Grill the chicken once the grill is hot, adding the chicken and grilling for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear and the temperature reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
  • Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.
