Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are white and glowing.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. You can squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the grilled chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
- Optionally, garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
- Serve the Grilled Tuscan Chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or roasted potatoes.
