How to Make Balsamic Grilled Chicken

Combine your marinade by mixing balsamic vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar (or honey), minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they're well covered, and then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side, cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
