Healthy Eats: Balsamic Rosemary Chicken

Our new favorite chicken preparation is a rich but healthy marinade consisting of balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard. This marinade is amazing on chicken breasts, lean red meat, and pork tenderloin. The combination of balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard makes a creamy marinade and keeps the chicken moist. We urge you change up your typical chicken routine and make it tonight!!

Balsamic Rosemary Chicken:

4 chicken breasts with any fat and cartilage removed

2 TBSP Dijon mustard

2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar

2 TSP Garlic Powder

1 TBSP Crushed Dried Rosemary (you could absolutely use fresh chopped rosemary instead)

To prepare the Balsamic Rosemary Chicken, combine all ingredients in a large plastic bag or plastic container with lid. Seal bag and shake around until all ingredients are well combined and the chicken is coated evenly. The Balsamic Rosemary Chicken can be grilled, baked or cooked in your NuWave oven. Cook chicken all the way through before serving it. Pair the Balsamic Rosemary Chicken with grilled vegetables and avocado for a complete Check Total Health meal plan approved dinner!
