Ingredients
2
boneless, skinless chicken breasts, split
1
fennel bulb, small
1
white onion, small
1 tbsp (15 mL)
lemon zest
2 tsp (10 mL)
rosemary, fresh
2 tbsp (30 mL)
flat leaf parsley
1 tsp (5 mL)
thyme, fresh
2 tbsp (30 mL)
balsamic vinegar, aged
1 cup (250 mL)
olive oil
Instructions
1
To make marinade, dice the fennel and onion, then add remaining ingredients in mixing bowl and stir until combined. Put a small amount of the marinade aside to use later to brush on chicken.
2
Place chicken in shallow baking pan or casserole dish, and pour marinade over chicken to coat all sides. Cover and marinade for 2 hours. If chicken is not fully submerged in the marinade, then turn chicken over after one hour to ensure that the whole piece gets marinated.
3
Remove from marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Discard leftover marinade.
4
Preheat BBQ on medium. Place chicken on heated grill for approximately 5-8 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F (74°C).
5
Use the marinade that was put aside to brush on chicken while grilling.
