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. 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. 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. 3 Remove from marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Discard leftover marinade.
    4. 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. 5 Use the marinade that was put aside to brush on chicken while grilling.
