Chicken Italiano

The marinade in this recipe is fast, but full of flavor.  If you can, let the chicken sit overnight in the marinade. The results will be amazingly yummy!

/2 c Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 c Olive Oil (approximate)
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (about 1 1/2 lbs total)
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Non-Stick Cooking Spray

In a bowl combine with a whisk the red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, a good pinch of salt or two and a few grinds of pepper.  While whisking slowly add the olive oil.  You will know that you have added enough olive oil when the marinade has become thick and combined.  Place the chicken in a large zip lock bag and add the marinade.  Move the chicken around in the bag to make sure that all pieces are coated.  Place the chicken in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but best if overnight. 

Remove the chicken from the fridge about a half hour before you plan on grilling it.  Spray an indoor or outdoor grill with non-stick cooking spray.  Pre-heat the grill.  Once the grill is super hot, add the chicken.  Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes or so per side.  Remove the chicken to a plate and cover with foil.  Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes.

Serve with your favorite side dish.  Risotto is one of my favorite sides for this.
