Grilled Balsamic Chicken
This Grilled Balsamic Chicken is a favorite at our house! The simple marinade gives ordinary chicken a tangy, rich flavor that tastes super fancy even though it could not be easier to make. Echo made this for us years ago and we all fell in love. She served it over a bed of arugula with a mouthwatering chilled bruschetta topping. All those healthy, vibrant flavors tasted fresh and oh so delicious! I make this chicken all the time for other recipes too: salads, pastas or grilled chicken sandwiches. You’ll love this easy dish that looks so fancy and pretty!
Easiest Balsamic Chicken Marinade
The marinade for this chicken could not be more simple to make! All you need is some good, rich balsamic vinegar, some olive oil (I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil, but any olive oil will work) and a package of Good Seasons Italian Dressing. That’s it! Coat the mixture over a few chicken breasts in a Ziploc bag or a bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least three hours. The longer you let it marinate, the better, but probably not longer than about eight hours. You can even use the extra marinade to brush on the chicken while it’s cooking.
Chilled Bruschetta Topping
If you want a show-stopping dish that will impress your guests, top the grilled balsamic chicken with this chilled bruschetta. It is so easy to make, but looks beautiful and slightly wilts as it sits on the warm chicken. Dice up some fresh tomatoes into bite size pieces,fresh basil, and cubed mozzarella cheese. Toss it into a simple mixture of balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper. Allow it all to chill in the fridge while the chicken is grilling. If it looks like the oil is solidifying, just let the bowl rest on the counter until serving.
