Tonight's Dinner: Balsamic Chicken

My mom introduced me to this awesome, nifty website called Mr. Food, which is all about easy recipes, which is exactly what I need since I'm a beginner. I was browsing through the recipes and found this one for Balsamic Chicken. Not only is it easy, but it's also healthy (shhh, don't tell my boyfriend).

Here is the recipe:

Serves: 4

Marinating Time: 30 min

Cooking Time: 15 min

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 (5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a large resealable plastic storage bag; mix well. Seal, and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
2. Heat a grill pan over medium heat until hot. Place chicken on pan, discarding excess marinade, and cook 6 to 10 minutes per side, or until no pink remains and juices run clear.
