Balsamic Dijon Chicken

Experiment with various flavored mustards to add a different spin to this simple marinade recipe. It's low in fat and carbs because it's oil- and sugar-free.

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1-pound total)
  • ⅓ cup dijon-style mustard
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or basil, crushed
  • 1 fresh thyme sprigs

Directions:

  1. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag in a shallow dish; set aside.
  2. For marinade: In a small bowl, stir together mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic and thyme until smooth. Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  3. Drain the chicken, reserving marinade. Place chicken on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 7 minutes, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. Turn chicken; brush again with marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes more or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (165 degrees F). If desired, garnish with thyme sprigs.
