Ingredients

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar or other vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 cup lemon juice
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp dried rosemary
• 2 tbsp Dijon or Spicy Brown mustard
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 6 chicken breasts or 3.5 lb chicken

Instructions

• Combine all ingredients, except for chicken, in a large Pyrex measuring cup or mixing bowl and whisk together.
• Remove a half a cup of marinade and reserve for basting the chicken later.
• Place chicken in a large, ziploc bagand pour marinade over the top. Close securely.
• Marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.

To grill

• Preheat grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off.
• Grill chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
• Baste the chicken occasionally with the reserved marinade.
• Remove chicken from grill and tent with foil. Let chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving

Optional.

• If you bring the reserved marinade up to a boil, let simmer until slightly reduced, it makes a wonderful sauce to go on top of the chicken.
