Protein Power: Balsamic Herb Chicken

 Another delicious dinner.  Very similar to the Pork Chop except this had chicken and it used mustard.  Since I didn't have any Dijon on hand, I used regular yellow mustard.  Also, instead of cooking on the grill, I used a skillet on the stove.


Here's the ingredients:

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

1 Tbsp Rustic Herb Seasoning

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 6 pieces 

 And here is how you prepare/cook it:

  1. In a storage container or gallon freezer bag, combine first 4 ingredients; salt as desired.  Add chicken.  Seal well and refrigerate 2 hours or up to overnight.
  2. Prepare grill to medium heat.  Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.
  3. Place chicken on grill.  Grill, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 10-12 minutes.
You can Make Ahead & Freeze by doing step 1.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Continue with step 2.

You can also use an Air Fryer:  Prepare step 1.  Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.  Place in a greased air fryer basket or on a greased rack in second position of air fryer.  Set air fryer to 375 degrees F (do not preheat).  Air fry until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 12-14 minutes.

Or you can Bake:  Prepare step 1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.  Place chicken on a greased large baking sheet.  Bake until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer, about 15-20 minutes.
