Dish of the Day 4/19/2012

This is a dish I randomly threw together one night after the Hubs and I got home late from the gym. It turned out great and I make it at least once a week!

                                             SPICY BALSAMIC GRILLED CHICKEN

Ingredients: 
Chicken breasts
1/2 cup Olive oil
1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar
"A couple shakes" of Garlic salt
"A couple shakes" of Red pepper flakes (more if you like it spicier)
"A couple shakes" of Italian seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
One gallon size Ziploc bag

Directions:
*Heat up a grill pan on the stove on medium-high heat
*Clean and dry chicken breasts and place them in a gallon size ziplock bag
*Add all of the ingredients above into the plastic bag and shake it up
*Let the chicken marinade as long as you'd like
*Using tongs, place chicken breasts in hot grill pan and reduce head to medium
*Add about a 1/4 cup of red wine (any red you like is fine)
*Grill evenly on each side; when you flip over the chicken, add another 1/4 cup of red wine
*The mixture of red wine and balsamic vinegar will make the chicken looked "burnt", but it's not burning as long as the heat isn't on too high
*When the breasts are done, take them off the heat and place on a cutting board. Let them sit for a few minutes before slicing so the juices don't run out.

ENJOY!
