Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear.

Notes
Pat the chicken dry before oiling for a better sear. Watch the glaze as it reduces; it can burn if the heat is too high.
