Grilled Balsamic Cherry Glazed Chicken Recipie

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:
  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve with Sides:
    • Pair the grilled balsamic cherry glazed chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
