Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the chicken is golden brown with grill marks.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Marinate for 30 minutes for basic flavor, or up to 1-2 hours for more intense flavor.
You can substitute chicken thighs if preferred, but be aware of a longer cooking time.
For added flavor, try fresh herbs like basil or rosemary, or a touch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
