Ingredients
- 1 - 2 lbs of chicken breast
- 1/2 cup pesto I used my spinach pesto recipe
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup balsalmic vinegar
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare your grill
- Pound the chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thickness
- Brush each chicken breast with approximately 1 tbsp. pesto
- Fold the chicken breast so the pesto remains completely inside
- Grill chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees (depends on your grill, but this is often 5-7 minutes per side for our grill)
- Meanwhile, make the glaze.
- Bring balsamic to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and add honey & mustard.
- Simmer for about 5 minutes or until balsamic has thickened a bit.
- Pour over grilled chicken.
