Easy Healthy Balsamic Chicken
Balsamic chicken is an easy and healthy weeknight meal that will spice up your chicken whether you cook it on the stove, grill it, bake it, or air-fry it!
This is my go-to chicken marinade. It is simple, healthy, and flavorful, plus I always have the ingredients on hand. I like to make extra and enjoy it in different ways throughout the week.
You will love Easy Healthy Balsamic Chicken because:
- High-protein healthy meal
- This marinate makes for juicy flavorful chicken
- Easy and quick marinade that makes chicken delicious
- Versatile recipe because you can cook the chicken on the stove, grill it, bake it, or use the air-fryer
- Gluten-free and healthy chicken recipe your family will love
Easy Healthy Balsamic Chicken is made with:
- Chicken: I buy boneless and skinless to make this recipe super easy
- Balsamic vinegar: A dark flavorful vinegar
- Coconut aminos: Gluten-free paleo-friendly option, but you can also substitute liquid aminos or soy sauce
- Olive oil: I use olive or avocado oil for this marinade
- Garlic powder: you could substitute fresh garlic if you have it on hand. About 3-4 cloves, minced
- Onion powder: adds extra flavor
Recipe Tips:
- Making cooking chicken even easier by pounding chicken to make them all the same thickness. Place chicken in a bag, or on a cutting board then cover with plastic wrap and pound chicken with a mallet to the same thickness
- This marinade is also great with chicken breast or even steak
- I like to marinate for at least 2 hours for better flavor absorption or for a minimum of 30 minutes
- On the other hand, don’t over-marinate the chicken or the texture can be altered
- Cooking times will vary based on the thickness and size of your chicken
