HERBED BALSAMIC CHICKEN

Our kitchen is tiny and cramped, so we try to grill simple (but tasty) meals outside as often as possible during the summer months. Dried herbs work as well, but during the summer use fresh herbs for the best taste. -Kelly Evans, Denton, Texas

HERBED BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH BLUE CHEESE

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.
