Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
3. Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
– For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
– You can bake the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes instead of grilling.
– Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
