Grilled Chicken Marinade

Step 1

Combine all marinade ingredients (vinegar through pepper) in a large liquid measuring cup or bowl.

Step 2

Place chicken breasts in a large ziploc freezer bag or medium container. Pour half of the marinade onto the chicken, seal and turn to coat. Reserve remaining marinade in the fridge, covered.

Step 3

Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees. Lightly grease the grill.

Step 5

Meanwhile, add remaining marinade to a small pot and cook over medium heat on the stove top, until slightly thickened. (*This step is optional but a great accompaniment to the finished chicken)

Step 6

When grill is hot, add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side (you may want to lift or turn more than once to prevent sticking), until the breasts reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F in the thickest part.

Step 7

Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with thickened glaze if desired.
