Ingredients
Scale
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoon tamari sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt + pepper to taste
- 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- To a small bowl add garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, dijon mustard, honey, tamari, balsamic vinegar, olive oil salt and pepper. Whisk until emulsified, or until the oil and vinegar no longer separate.
- Add chicken breast to a large ziplock bag. Pour marinade over top. Close the ziplock bag, trying to remove as much air as possible. Move the chicken breasts around in the bag to try to coat them.Â
- Allow chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes. (best results are 4 hours to overnight)Â
- Heat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 350°F-400°F.Â
- Remove chicken breasts from the marinade bag and place on directly on grill grates.Â
- Grill for 4-6 minutes then flip and grill another 4-6 minutes on the other side. If the chicken does not release from the grill it is not ready to flip, wait an additional 1-2 minutes.Â
- Remove from grill when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serve.
Notes
- To Freeze Chicken in Marinade: Make sure chicken and marinade are in a freezer-safe storage bag. Lay it down in the freezer as flat as possible. Defrost in the fridge overnight before grilling chicken.
- To Store & Reheat: Refrigerate cooled chicken in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat over medium-low heat until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a 250°F oven for about 25 minutes.
- To Freeze Leftovers: Wrap chicken tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze in an airtight container for up to 4 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
