Balsamic Grilled Chicken

Grilled Chicken is my go-to dinner recipe especially when I am too tired or when I am very hungry and want to have something Healthy. Generally, when we are hungry we crave fast food or takeaways. But, sticking to healthy food is not just difficult but is also rewarding.

I prefer Grilled chicken breasts more than Fried Chicken breasts because that way I cut out on the extra oil and also save myself from that unnecessary fat and calories.

This easy Balsamic Grilled Chicken is my favorite Chicken breast recipe, especially when I am feeling like cooking something easy. Other recipes that I try often are - Grilled Teriyaki Chicken, Grilled Honey Lemon Chicken, and etc.

• Balsamic vinegar - basically Balsamic Vinegar is an acid that is necessary to make the chicken juicy, tender, and soft.
• Minced Garlic - Garlic is important for that kick!
• Italian Seasoning - If you want you can replace this with Dried Basil and Dried Oregano.
• Salt and Pepper - Of course, the seasoning is a must.
