Great Grilled Chicken

Make this marinade the day before and let the
chicken sit overnight for super flavor!

4 boneless chicken breasts
2/3 c. olive oil
1/3 c. Balsamic vinegar
2 cloves of garlic sliced
4-6 basil leaves torn
sea salt and fresh black pepper

Whisk all ingredients together, pour over chicken
and marinate 2 hours-overnight
Grill chicken on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes
per side or until no longer pink in the center. We like
to add a slice of tomato and fresh mozzarella cheese
on top during the last minute of cooking.
