This balsamic chicken marinade elevates chicken to a whole new level of YUM! It’s seeping with complex savory, tangy, slightly sweet, herbilicious notes. The marinade is made with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, Italian herbs and seasonings that inject the chicken with loads of effortless flavor. And the best part of this balsamic chicken marinade? It does ALL THE work! Come dinner time, just cook the chicken (grill, oven and stove methods included) and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus or in salads, wraps, pasta, or sandwiches.

Balsamic is one of my favorite ingredients to use in chicken marinades! I’ve used it in my Greek chicken and Bruschetta chicken for its fruity tang, mellow tartness and rich, complex sweetness.

It’s savory, fruity, juicy, tender and goes with practically everything!
