🧂 Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts

or chicken cutlets

Instructions

1 Place the boneless chicken breasts in a glass or plastic container, or in a
resealable food storage bag. In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, combine
the balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, dried
oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk these
ingredients together until they are well combined.
2 Next, pour this marinade mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is
thoroughly coated. Cover the container with a lid or seal the bag tightly, then
place it in the refrigerator. Allow the chicken to marinate for a minimum of 1
hour and up to 6 hours for optimal flavor infusion.
3 When ready to cook, preheat your grill or grill pan. Place the marinated chicken
on the grill, turning occasionally to ensure both sides are evenly browned and
the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of
the chicken pieces; standard chicken breasts will need approximately 6 to 8
minutes per side, while thinner cutlets will require less time.
4 The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F,
measured at the thickest part using an instant-read thermometer. Once fully
cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest briefly before
serving. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy grilled chicken!
