Italian-American · Main course · 22 min total

Juicy grilled chicken breasts served over peppery arugula and drizzled with a sweet-tangy balsamic glaze. This quick and healthy meal is perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 5 oz baby arugula
• 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
2. Brush chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook until thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. In a large bowl, toss arugula with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt.
6. Divide arugula among plates, top with sliced chicken, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan.

Tips

• Substitute chicken thighs if preferred; adjust grilling time accordingly.
• Balsamic glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Serve with crusty bread or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
