Super tender and juicy, Grilled Balsamic Chicken is deliciously rustic with a sweet and savory flavor! This will become one of your family favorites!

 Grilled Balsamic Chicken

 

We have a Food Rating System in our house. Whenever I make a new recipe, we rate it 1 to 10; one being the worst, (bleck!) 10 being the best (more please!). If the recipe doesn’t score an eight or higher it doesn’t get to live with us. Bye-bye.

Now I realize that everyone’s taste varies, it is my goal on this blog to only give you the best.

This Balsamic marinated chicken is awesome. When the votes were cast, it received a 9.5. It’s a keeper!

YOU’LL LOVE GRILLED BALSAMIC CHICKEN

  • Marinade. Balsamic, garlic and red pepper flakes coat your chicken in a deep, rich, and flavor-packed marinade. It’s the ultimate deliciousness!
  • Bone-in chicken breasts. Any meat cooked with the bone left in will be more flavorful. While the skin does add fat, it also adds flavor and keeps those lovely juices in the chicken.
  • Versatility. Although I prefer grilled anytime over baked, you can bake or grill these chicken breasts.
  • Healthy. Chicken breasts are low in fat and a good source of lean protein.

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS

I recommend always cooking more chicken than you need. As well, it warms up beautifully and can be used in a lot of different recipes.

  • First, be sure to check out my Encore Meals category for recipes for your leftover chicken.
  • Keep cooked chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Finally, to reheat, just microwave for a minute or two or wrap in foil and reheat in the oven.

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on the products used.

I updated this post from an earlier version dated April 24, 2012. I made new photos and simplified the recipe instructions.
