This is one of the biggest hits from The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook, and once you make it, you will see why. This easy toprepare, healthy anddelicious Balsamic Chicken will quickly become one ofyour go to dinner recipes too. One serving contains 25 grams of protein and is low carb and gluten free.
PinI always love a good, easy, delicious recipe. I think that's why this recipe has been so popular, it's simple to make and tastes incredible.
What more can you ask for in a meal? On busy weeknights, when I'm taxi-driving my kids around town and referee-ing wrestling matches (I have 3 boys for goodness sake), I don't have time to make those meals that require a lot of ingredients and take more than 30 minutes.
Some days, I don't even have 30 minutes! And you know what kind of days I'm talking about.
If you are looking for more yummy chicken recipes, you will love this Stuffed Eggplant with Chicken and Mozzarella, Cheesy Pesto Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts and definitely this Slow Cooker Thai Curried Chicken Soup!
All of these would be even more yummy with someLow Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate,Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latteand definitely someSpiked Apple Cider.
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make This Easy Balsamic Chicken
What I love about this recipe is that you simply take 5 minutes in the morning to prep it and then place it in the refrigerator to marinate. You can marinate it for as little as 45 minutes to an hour to as long as over night.
The longer you marinate it the more flavorful it will be. I have prepared this both with a shorter marinade and an overnight one and they both came out delicious.
I love to make this when I have guests over because everyone loves it and it is allergy friendly. It is gluten free, dairy free, paleo, low carb and Keto friendly.
Trust me, these will go fast so you definitely want to double or even triple the batch. With three very hungry boys and an extremely starving husband so I need to make a bunch of these at a time.
I also make these Balsamic Chicken Breasts weekly for my meal prep days. Make these ahead of time and leave them in the refrigerator for a quick and convenient lunch or dinner.
Being prepared helps to prevent mindless eating. Yeah, I am looking at you grilled sandwich crusts and leftover bowls of cereal.
This balsamic chicken has 25 grams of protein, low in carbs and gluten free.
