Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Create the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken soak in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Slice the grilled chicken and serve it hot, garnished with fresh basil.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken longer (up to 2 hours). If fresh basil is unavailable, consider substituting with parsley or feta cheese.
