Carolyn

Summertime is for grilling! This simple chicken marinade uses pantry staples and takes 2 minutes to make. It's BIG on flavor with a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar.

Equipment

Large Bowl

Ingredients

½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce See note
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon seasoned salt or kosher salt

For grilled chicken:

2 to 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Whisk well until emulsified.
Add the sliced chicken breasts to the bowl and use your hands to make sure all the pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with saran wrap or aluminum foil.
Let the chicken marinade in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

To grill:

Preheat the grill to medium high heat and oil the grates. Transfer the chicken breasts to the grill, leaving any excess marinade in the bowl.
Cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through. It should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the cooked chicken sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot!

Notes

*If you're gluten-free, be sure to use a gluten-free Worcestershire sauce! I used Lea and Perrin's brand. You can find it at Costco or any well-stocked grocery store.
