Grilled Balsamic Chicken

Grilled Balsamic Chicken

1 cup balsamic vinegar
2/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 (0.7 ounce) packet Italian salad dressing mix
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Combine all ingredients in a re-sealable plastic bag. Shake to combine. Place bag in a large bowl and marinate 4 to 12 hours.

Grill or bake until chicken is cooked through.

This is my favorite chicken marinade! The chicken is so moist and full of sweet and savory flavors, that you will want to have seconds.

Grilled Orange Chicken

Orange Marinade

1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice or store bought orange juice
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup sliced fresh basil
3 to 5 cloves fresh garlic chopped

In a one gallon re-sealable plastic bag, combine all ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add 4 chicken breasts, seal. Toss to coat. Place bag and contents in a bowl.

Refrigerate 6 to 12 hours, turning often.

Remove chicken from the marinade. Discard marinade. Grill, fry, or bake until cooked through.

I love to use a marinade when I am grilling. It makes the chicken, pork, or beef, so juicy when it is cooked. The longer you let the chicken in this recipe, sit in the marinade, the more flavor it will have. Even if you can only let it sit in the marinade for an hour, you will be surprised at what it does for it.
