Balsamic Chicken Breast with Thyme and Lemon

01Method

1. 1

   Combine the balsamic vinegar, oil, honey, minced garlic, and herbs together with lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Reserve a small portion of this mixture separately for finishing the cooked meat.

2. 2

   Place the cleaned chicken breasts in the remaining marinade and allow them to soak for at least one hour.

3. 3

   Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Sear the breasts quickly on both sides over high heat on a grill or in a hot pan (approximately one to two minutes per side) until a crust forms.

4. 4

   Continue grilling the meat covered for the majority of the cooking time (about ten to fifteen minutes), which helps retain its natural juices.

5. 5

   When serving, drizzle the reserved and warmed marinade over the meat, garnish with citrus and microgreens, creating a tender dish with a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
