Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Balsamic Glaze
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
Salad and Toppings
- Spinach
- shredded goat cheese
- cherry tomatoes
- red onion
Instructions
- In a blender a combine the oil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, vinegar, salt and pepper and blend until smooth.
- Place the chicken in a zip loc bag and pour the blended marinade overtop. Place the bag in the fridge to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 12 hours, flipping the bag over once so that the chicken is well coated.
- cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes per side until there is no pink in the middle and it is cooked through.
- While the chicken is marinating make the balsamic glaze. Pour the vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar thickens, coats the back of a spoon, and is reduced to about 1/2 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes — the glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.
