📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp stone ground mustard (substitute dijon or spicy brown)
• 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp fresh rosemary (may substitute with dried)
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 5 chicken breasts (sliced in half horizontally)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Stir all ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved.
2. 2Add the chicken breasts and combine well so that every part of the meat is coated in marinade. Marinate the chicken for 8-24 hours.
3. 3When it's time to cook, heat the grill to medium-high heat (leave half the grill unheated). Grill the first side of the chicken for 5-6 minutes until the edges begin to dry and change color. Flip and grill for 4-6 minutes longer, or until it is cooked through to 165°F. *If chicken begins to brown too much, move it to the unheated side of the grill. Close the lid and allow it to finish cooking.
