Easy Balsamic Glazed Chicken Marinade
This simple marinade makes your chicken juicy and packed with savory flavor.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing better than having a go to marinade that makes dinner taste like you spent all day in the kitchen. This balsamic mix brings a lovely tang to your chicken that works perfectly whether you are grilling outdoors or cooking in a pan.
My favorite thing about this recipe is how the garlic and Dijon mustard come together to create a really rich flavor. If you have time, let the chicken sit in the fridge for a few hours to really soak up all those delicious herbs.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This chicken is delicious served cold on top of a big garden salad the next day for a quick lunch.
