Balsamic Grilled Chicken

Scott and I headed into the city to see Carly. When I gave her a choice of what I can bring her a definitive choice was Balsamic Grilled Chicken. One of her favorites.

This is an easy dish to make for a dinner, or great to make ahead to have for lunches for the week. Not many ingredients, and most of them are things that I have on hand. I like to keep a few fresh herbs in my fridge, usually rosemary, thyme, cilantro and parsley. I keep them each in a separate plastic bag or if I buy them in a plastic box I leave it in that in the produce draw. They usually last 2-3 weeks in my fridge.

To save dishes and to really coat all the chicken I like to mix this marinade and let it sit in a gallon zip top bag. to keep the liquid from spilling out while I am adding the ingredients, I prop the bag over a glass jar or vase. Then I have two hands to add everything and take pictures.

I usually grill inside so I like to use a grill pan or a double burner grill pan. They both work great and leave the nice grill marks on the chicken. Also amazing to cook on a gas or charcoal grill.
