Tropical Coconut Balsamic Grilled Chicken

This tropical grilled chicken is infused with the sweet, tangy flavor of coconut white balsamic vinegar, making it a perfect dish for summer grilling or a vibrant weeknight meal.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup coconut white balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, whisk together the coconut white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
   • Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.
   • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 2-4 hours (or overnight for more intense flavor).

3. Preheat the Grill:

   • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

4. Grill the Chicken:

   • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
   • Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the chicken with a side of coconut rice, grilled pineapple, or a light tropical salad for a refreshing and flavorful meal.

Serving Suggestions:

• Coconut Rice: Cook jasmine rice with coconut milk for a rich, fragrant side dish that pairs perfectly with the tropical flavors.
• Grilled Pineapple: Slice fresh pineapple, brush with a little honey, and grill alongside the chicken for a sweet, smoky contrast.
• Tropical Salad: Toss mixed greens, mango slices, avocado, and coconut flakes for a light and refreshing salad.
