How To Make simple honey balsamic grilled chicken
-
Step 1In a small bowl, stir together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Step 2Pound out the chicken so that it is an even thickness (this also tenderizes the meat).
-
Step 3Put the chicken in a gallon-size resealable bag. Pour half the marinade in the bag. Let marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
-
Step 4Spray the grill with a grilling non-stick spray. Preheat the grill, on medium heat, to between 350-400.
-
Step 5While the grill is preheating and chicken marinating, mix honey into the leftover marinade. Stir for about one minute until it dissolves making a honey balsamic sauce.
-
Step 6Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Close the lid (for even cooking) and grill for 7 minutes
-
Step 7Lift the lid, flip the chicken, and brush the grilled side with the honey balsamic sauce. Close the lid and grill for 7 minutes more (if the grill gets too hot adjust the temperature).
-
Step 8After 7 minutes, check the temperature of the meat with an instant-read thermometer. If it says 160 degrees, it’s ready. If under 160 degrees, close the lid and cook for a couple more minutes; then check again.
-
Step 9Once the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, remove the chicken breasts from the grill to a plate. Brush the top with more sauce and lightly cover with foil. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes then serve.
-
Step 10Chicken breasts need to be 165 degrees to be safe to eat. They will continue to cook and raise another 5 to 10 degrees as it rests.
