Balsamic Glazed Grilled Chicken Breasts Recipes

GRILLED BALSAMIC CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Combine chicken and 1/2 of the marinade in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate chicken for 1 hour to overnight. Reserve the other 1/2 of the marinade until grilling.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, to approximately 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from marinade and discard used marinade.
• Place chicken on the hot grill and baste with reserved marinade. Lower grill to medium and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Baste with marinade on each side when flipping chicken. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from grill, cover, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients; set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill, skin side down, over medium heat. Cook 10 minutes. Turn chicken; brush half the glaze evenly over chicken. Continue cooking and brushing with remaining glaze 10 to 12 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (170°F).

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and slowly add to the balsamic sauce. Stir until thickened. Toss chicken strips in balsamic sauce and serve.

BALSAMIC GLAZED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the vegetable oil and butter into a large skillet and place over high heat. Once the butter and oil are bubbling, add the chicken breasts to the skillet 4 at a time. Sear on each side until the chicken is golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a large baking dish. Repeat with the remaining breasts and set aside.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, toss to combine and then follow with the balsamic vinegar and red wine and season with salt and pepper. Bring up to a bubble then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. [Simmering the wine in this mixture does not reduce the alcohol content substantially.]
• Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken and place the pan in the top half of the oven for 10 minutes, or until the chicken has just cooked through. Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and set into a prepared chafer.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper; shake off any excess flour. Cook the fillets in the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on 1 side or until brown. Add the garlic. Turn the chicken over; sprinkle with the mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes, shaking the saute pan to redistribute the mushrooms so they will cook evenly. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, and wine. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally.
