Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and chopped rosemary until combined.
  2. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results).
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill each breast for 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  4. While grilling, pour leftover marinade into a saucepan and simmer until reduced by half to create a sauce.
  5. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with sauce and serve with roasted veggies or rice.
