Grilled Herb-Marinated Garlic Infused Chicken

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, 1 tablespoon chopped thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the 4 chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Seal the bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the chicken. For best results, marinate overnight.

3. Prepare the Charcoal Grill:
- About 30 minutes prior to grilling, prepare your charcoal grill. Arrange the charcoal to create a two-zone heat system with one side hotter for searing and the other cooler for indirect cooking.
- Allow the grill to preheat with the lid closed until you reach a temperature of approximately 375°F (190°C).

4. Grill the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Place the chicken breasts on the hotter side of the grill. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes to achieve grill marks and a slightly charred exterior.
- Move the chicken to the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. Rest and Serve:
- Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist, tender result.
- Slice and serve the chicken with your favorite sides.
