Grilled Balsamic Chicken

kittycatmom's Note:

I love the unique flavor of Balsamic Vinegar. This is one of my favorite ways to grill chicken. I would suggest doubling the marinade if you want more to use as a dipping sauce. This marinade is also excellant on Pork Chops! NOTE: Plan Ahead! Marinate 4-6 hours or overnight. Not included in cook time.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2⁄3; cup chopped scallion
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¼ cup Dijon mustard

Directions:

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

We all really enjoyed this grilled chicken! I marinated the breasts for 24 hours and the flavour was terrific. I thought that the balsamic taste might be too much but it added just the right kick. I didn't find that it was dry at all but you have to be really careful and remove chicken from the grill as soon as its done. We enjoyed this with Cheesy Barbecued Corn on the Cob and some pasta. Made for Kittencal's Grilling Game. Thanks kittycatmom! :)

Very good. I overcooked my chicken a little, but the marinade/basting helped a bit with that. I actually would recommend keeping the marinade and boiling it to kill any buggies and serving as a sauce on the side.

Just what I was looking for. I left the recipe as is, and marinated chicken breasts for about 30 minutes before grilling. Tastes exactly like the marinated chicken I order from a panini bar. Delicious!
