Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness
- 3 tablespoons Italian Herb EVOO
- 3 tablespoons Mango Balsamic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp EACH dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt (optional due to flavour infusion of EVOO)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a freezer bag or glass bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 12 hours (the longer the better).
-
When ready to cook, remove chicken from the refrigerator and let rest 15-30 minutes before cooking.
TO GRILL CHICKEN:
-
Preheat grill to 400 degrees, clean and grease grates.
-
Grill chicken undisturbed for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should reach 165 degrees F.) Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
TO COOK CHICKEN ON THE STOVE:
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes, or until deeply golden on one side.
-
Flip chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked to 165 degrees F.
TO BAKE CHICKEN IN THE OVEN:
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Drain chicken from marinade and add to prepared baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 16-18 minutes (depending on thickness), or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. (Baking is for chicken approximately 1/2-inch thick, increase cooking time as needed for thicker chicken)
