Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar; 1/2 cup water; 1 teaspoon dried minced onion; 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon paprika; 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary; 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes; 1/4 teaspoon chili powder; 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano; 4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Servings: persons

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1
Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, water, onion, red pepper flakes, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, parsley, chili powder, and oregano in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes to overnight.
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, or lightly grease a broiler pan. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade, and place the chicken breasts onto the baking sheet.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken breasts are golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
