Grilled fruity balsamic chicken with cilantro salad. image

Fire up your grill for this elegant and tasty summer meal. The balsamic glaze can be made up to a week ahead and kept until you're ready to use it. This is quick and easy to make but also very impressive. My entry in the "Ready, Set, Cook" competition.

GRILLED BALSAMIC CHICKEN



Grilled Balsamic Chicken image

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CILANTRO MARINADE



Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade image

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced (I use more)
1 lime, zest of
2 -3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix together the marinade ingredients in a deep bowl. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat completely. Cover the bowl and refrigerate.
  • Marinade for about 1 hour. You can leave the chicken in the marinade longer, but because the mixture is very acidic, the chicken will begin to appear poached.
  • Preheat your grill. Cook the chicken over medium hot coals for about 3-5 mins per side.
  • Serve and enjoy.
