rosemary

chicken breasts

Kosher salt

black pepper

parsley,

I’m 17 and I just made for myself and I’m in awe. I paired it with a homemade aioli on toasted Italian 5 grain bread. Best thing i’ve ever made.

Can this recipe be used on chicken drumsticks?

This was excellent! Very happy to have come across this recipe! I made rice and added some canned carrots, then used some of the reserved marinade to flavor the rice. Will be making this again!

Easy and delicious! I didn't have any brown sugar, so substituted 2 tablespoons of organic honey. Also didn't have dried rosemary, so used a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary from the garden. I'll be making this again on a regular basis.

This was the best barbecued chicken ever!  My family loved it and any leftovers are perfect in a salad.  I did slightly pound the chicken, so it was super tender but only cooked it for about 4 minutes a side.

Tried this recipe for the first time, and I am hooked !  My sons usually grill for us, but I was on my own and looking for something quick and easy.  It was both, and tasted delicious !  Chicken was juicy and tender, and came out perfectly !  Will definitely be making this again !!

Fantastic! I added smoked mozzarella about 4 minutes before I took it off the grill. Then topped with tomato and avocado, and paired with roasted yellow squash. Will 100% make again, thanks Delish!

Easy to make. But wasn’t a fan. They weren’t that delicious I thought. Maybe just me.

Ahhhhhhmazing!!  I used Splenda Brown Sugar - 1 Tablespoon only - and fresh rosemary as my plant is going crazy.  By far the best marinade I have ever used on chicken. Will be what I do from now on! Super easy and delish!!  Thanks!!

Grilling newbie here! This is the first recipe I've made on the grill and it was delicious!

This was probably the best grilled chicken I've ever made! Just perfect, we couldn't stop eating it. I did make one change based on past experience - I grilled it on indirect heat for about 30 minutes, then put it in the fire for a few minutes per side. Extreme juiciness and flavor! I also didn't reserve liquid - not enough would be left for a good marinating, and basting isn't really necessary on indirect heat. For people worried about them cooking at different speeds...always use a meat thermometer!

These chicken breast are easy and delicious. I added some hot pepper flakes to give then a little kick. I grilled them 15 minutes a side, on a gas grill, with indirect heat and they turned out perfect. 5 stars for great taste and simplicity!

So good!!! I’ve been looking for ways to change up our chicken while in quarantine (it seems like we eat the same thing every day) and this did the trick! I couldn’t believe how flavorful it was. Definitely saving to make again!

So delicious....really brings chicken to life.  Will definitely keep this recipe...thank you!

our chicken came out SO juicy, and very flavourful. Bookmarking this recipe for next time :)

Too much rosemary and thyme for my taste.

Surprisingly easy and delicious! 
I had some chicken breasts that I needed to cook, and found this recipe... I love Balsamic vinegar so I knew I was going to like the recipe... but I didn’t just like it, I LOVED it... the marinade is delicious and the chicken was so tender. Can’t wait to make this again! 👌🏼🤤😍

Dang Thai from Embeya!

This chicken was really good. I doubled it and had very little leftovers. The marinade was very good and left a nice glaze on the chicken. This one’s a keeper!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe!! Perfect chicken to add to salads, pasta or as a meal. I make it at least once a week.

Great flavor! This is a keeper. Thank you!!

Just WOW. absolutely delicious not too spicy and not too dull. Just the right amount of flavor. Made a bunch for a Memorial Day party and EVERYONE raved about my chicken! Super impressed.

Amazingly good flavor for such a simple recipe!  The grilling instructions were spot-on and created juicy, tender chicken. Yum!

This was delicious.  I added a half teaspoon of Desert Heat from Buffalo Wild Wings for a smidge of heat.  We really enjoyed it.

GIRRRRRRL! These were so amazing. You’re amazing for putting this all together. Thanks A lot.

Not too hot, not too spicy, grandkids and all enjoyed, also quick and easy!

This looks delicious! I’m always looking for new ways to make chicken more flavorful. This seems perfect.

Looking for an easy grilled chicken recipe? This Grilled Bruschetta Chicken from Delish.com is the best!

Bruschetta Grilled Chicken

oregano

boneless skinless antibiotic free chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness

slicing tomatoes, chopped

tbsp. basil

mozzarella

Parmesan,

Excellent! I had to improvise though because I didn’t have any mozzarella cheese. I used Provel cheese. Also I added a little white wine in the marinade.

Subbed in balsamic vinegar rather than lemon juice and it was absolutely delicious!  I also added some chopped fresh jalapeño to spice it up. Served with steamed asparagus and it was perfect! Will definitely make again.

Delicious!! I didn’t change a thing. I served it with a side salad and fettuccini with Parmesan.  This will be one of my favorite summer chicken dishes.

This was wonderful and perfect for a hot summer evening! I marinated the chicken exactly as the recipe states and that by itself would be great. Wanting the "bruchetta" experience, as the chicken was grilling on the second side I added pesto, then sprinkled moz. on top of that and then spooned pre-made bruschetta sauce on top of that. DELISH! The bruschetta sauce already had olive oil, garlic, and basil in it so it added even MORE flavor!  Wonderful dish!

Cooked this on the grill and turned out amazing! Even my picky eaters were impressed.

Holy cow this was good! Best chicken I've ever made thanks to this recipe!

This is an amazing recipe. I wouldn’t change a thing! My daughter and I are doing a low-carb diet. SO good

I made it on the stovetop with pasta and marinara sauce...it was one of the best chicken dinners I’ve ever had! My mom and I completely loved it and we’re definitely having it again

Just made it for dinner and it was excellent!  A great recipe to start our healthy diet.

done on the bbq. Added prosciutto and used jalapeño Monterey cheese. 👍

Food side dish is roasted potatoes with fresh garlic and dill seasoning.  And some asparagus to compliment the dish. Magnifico

Bruschetta Grilled Chicken Is The Summer Dinner That Won't Weigh You Down

Take it easy with simple Grilled Chicken Thighs from Delish.com.

Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken Thighs

bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

butter

tbsp. balsamic vinegar

honey

oil,

chives,

Lemon wedges,

The sauce is the best thing about this recipe.  Would taste better as a pour over in the end.  The honey made the chicken burn very quickly.  There was no salvaging the skin, which is the best part. Next time I'll grill this for 10 minutes to get a nice skin and grill taste, then transfer to the over to finish it off, put the glaze on in the end.

Grilled Chicken Quesadillas from Delish.com are perfect for lunch or dinner.

Grilled Chicken Quesadillas

Vegetable oil,

white onion,

red bell peppers,

pepper

chili powder

flour tortillas

c. shredded Monterey Jack

c. shredded cheddar

green onions, thinly sliced

Guacamole,

Sour cream,

Amazing! Would recommend melting cheese before putting on grill because it is hard to flip.
