Hello my dearest fit foodies! Looking for a fail-proof chicken recipe? Then check out my balsamic grilled chicken! As long as you don’t cook the chicken for too long, this recipe will be great!

When it comes to grilling chicken, I suggest medium-high heat and the use of a meat thermometer to check that it reaches at least 165°F on its thick parts. This would be of great help to have your perfectly cooked chicken breast or thigh.

Aside from chicken, you can also use other ingredients such as steaks, pork chops, pork loin, and even veggies! There’s no exact recipe that you have to strictly follow. You can even make a variety of combinations to your homemade marinade.

In this recipe, I love how the strong and sour note of grilled balsamic blends well with freshly chopped mint and Italian herbs. It also contains high protein content, vitamin B6, potassium, and niacin.

Balsamic vinegar is a very dark, concentrated, and strongly flavored vinegar originating in Italy. This is wholly or partly made of grape musk.

It is believed that it has a lot of benefits. It can contribute to weight loss, low cholesterol levels, healthy digestion, blood circulation, and even glowing skin.

Already craving for this balsamic chicken? Add this to your compilation of grilled chicken recipes! Better yet, try it with my low-carb “couscous” with peas, herbs, and feta!

And if you’re enjoying and loving this recipe, I’d greatly appreciate it if you send me an email or leave a comment below!

Knowing how my recipes affect your knowledge of what healthy food could be is highly important to me — as well as giving you satisfying foods while making it easy to achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Live happily and stay healthy!
