Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Cook the Chicken:
– For Grilling: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
– For Baking: Place the marinated chicken on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the chicken moist.
6. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that is not only easy to prepare but also incredibly satisfying.
