The Best Easy Balsamic Chicken Marinade Recipe
This Balsamic Chicken Marinade is a perfect recipe for flavorful and juicy chicken. It’s made with a simple mix of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, and a touch of brown sugar to bring a nice balance of tangy and slightly sweet.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, sherry vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
- To Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- To Sear: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
Notes
Note: Chicken cooking times vary based on thickness. If the chicken breasts are smaller, cook for 5-6 minutes per side. If very large, cook 8-10 minutes per side. Always use an instant thermometer for the best results.
