Herbed Balsamic Chicken With Blue Cheese

Submitted by Scoutie

"This is a quick, easy and tasty chicken entree. I use bone-in chicken breasts, I find them juicier than boneless chicken when grilling. If you find blue cheese too strong, try Boursin cheese. Also try to use the best balsamic vinegar you can find, it makes a difference. We love it with fresh sliced tomatoes and an arugula or spinach salad, they complement the flavors of the chicken just right. Prep time does not include marinade time.
