Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 400 grams
• Balsamic vinegar - 60 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Whisk until well blended.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
