Instructions

  • Place thinly sliced chicken breasts into a gallon sized ziplock baggie, then set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Reserve 1/3 cup for basting, then pour the remainder over the chicken and marinate in the fridge for 4-24 hours.
  • Lightly grease the grates of your grill with oil (I like avocado), then preheat to medium high heat (400 degrees).
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, then grill chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through (165 degrees F), basting the chicken occasionally with the reserved marinade.
  • Remove chicken from grill and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve plain or with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
