RECIPE BY MyRecipes

An easy marinade and a few minutes on the grill are all this chicken recipe needs to become the perfect weeknight  meal. It's easy, quick, and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2/3 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

How to Make It

Step 1

Rinse chicken, and pat dry. Place in a gallon-size zip-top plastic bag. Combine chicken broth and next 8 ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Reserve 1/2 cup marinade; pour remaining marinade over chicken. Seal bag, and refrigerate up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Step 3

Grill chicken, uncovered, at medium-high for 6 minutes on each side or until cooked through, basting with reserved 1/2 cup marinade every few minutes.

It gets 5 *s. Not something I do easily. I tried this Balsamic Chicken recipe for the first time and my friends and family really liked it: ) So did I. I might try it with chicken with skin on, to keep it moister next time. The recipe called for dry mustard, aside from the Dijon Mustard. I just couldn't bring myself to add the dry mustard, as I don't like that flavor. I'm glad I didn't, because it tasted and smelled great without it. You can also bring the leftover marinade to a boil, strain it and service with the chicken. Really good. This recipe moved up on my list of what to make for guest. (Not just a weekday dish as the site mentioned.) Glad I found this recipe : )

Put this on the grill last nite for friends, and everyone really liked it. Marinated the skinless chicken breasts overnite, but forgot the shallots. It was still delicious and the chicken came out nice and moist. Served with grilled corn on the cob and pear and avocado salad. Will definitely be fixing again over the summer.

This is a great marinade! I used it on boneless skinless chicken breasts. Make sure to marinate it overnight for the fullest flavor.

My daughter and son-in-law made this for a party they had for Father's Day...this was the best marinade I have had on chicken hands down!!! As a caterer I am picky regarding food, etc. and they won me over with this!

Great marinade with a nice balance of flavors. I used thin cut chiken cutlets and only marinated for about 2 hours. This is definitely a keeper for me.
