Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts – about 6 ounces each – cut in half lengthwise into thin cutlets
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 T. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. finely minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
  • 3/4 tsp. salt – sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add the marinade ingredients. Rub the dried herbs between your finger tips to break them up as you add them. Mix marinade thoroughly.
  2. Add the chicken and toss to coat with marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for 30 minutes at room temp or for longer marinating place in the fridge. Since the breasts are sliced thin, the marinade penetrates quickly, so I don’t go longer than an hour.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until done. Remove cooked chicken to a clean platter.
  4. Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
