balsamic bbq chicken

Another tasty grilled chicken recipe...
What can I say? I am a good Southern girl that likes her meat smoky. :)

This chicken is subtly sweet, juicy, and sticky with a tangy glaze.
Balsamic BBQ Chicken

5 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
1/4 cup good Balsamic Vinegar
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp. Honey
1 clove Garlic, crushed
1 Shallot, finely chopped
1 tsp Herbes de Provence
2 tsp. Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp. Pepper

Combine all ingredients in a 1-gallon Ziplock bag. Seal and massage chicken to coat.
Marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, but not longer than 2 hours.

Preheat an oiled grill to medium-high.
Remove chicken from marinade, and set aside.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, reduce the marinade (about 15 minutes). Stir frequently.

Grill chicken breasts for 6 minutes, then flip. Baste with reduced marinade bbq sauce.
Cover and continue to cook chicken for 6 minutes, or until the juices run clear.

As with all meat, allow it to "rest" for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serve with your favorite summer side dish.
