Grilled Balsamic Cherry Glazed Chicken Recipie
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Cherry Balsamic Glaze:
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
- Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Make the Cherry Balsamic Glaze:
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the cherry balsamic glaze.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the pitted and halved cherries, balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the cherries are soft and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Glaze the Chicken:
- During the last few minutes of grilling, generously brush the cherry balsamic glaze over each side of the chicken breasts.
- Continue to grill for an additional 1-2 minutes per side, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly on the chicken.
- Serve:
- Remove the glazed chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Drizzle any remaining glaze over the chicken before serving.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish the grilled chicken with additional fresh cherry halves and a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added freshness and visual appeal.
- Serve with Sides:
- Pair the grilled balsamic cherry glazed chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
