Balsamic Vinegar Chicken

Balsamic Vinegar Chicken

This recipe for balsamic vinegar chicken is for those that like chicken adobo, salt and vinegar chips, and ponzu sauce. It’s one of my personal favorites, as far as simple chicken recipes go.

INGREDIENTS
4 pieces chicken breast
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Marinate them in the balsamic vinegar and other ingredients listed above. After 15 to 30 minutes, pour everything into a pot and boil until cooked.

Balsamic Vinegar Chicken

NOTES
On this night I used a Dijon mustard with basil from France and a strawberry infused balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy. Delicious remnants from a trip two winters ago.

With the balsamic and the lemon juice that’s a lot of tang going on. I grew up on tang, and I don’t mean the powdered orange drink! But now I’m wondering….did you eat this with rice? or pasta? The balsamic is throwing me off and for the life of me I cannot figure out what would go best as a starch.

Hi kat,
I love salt and vinegar too! :)

Hi rowena,
I had this with a bowl of brown rice. After boiling, the vinegar flavor really mellows. ;)

Hi Kevin,
Yup, very simple and great for those who love the salty sour flavor.

Hi Kaman,
You can often catch me adding in extra rice to my bowl at the end of the meal to soak up the remaining sauce!
