Ingredients

▢ 2.5 lb boneless chicken breasts Make sure they're evenly sized for even cooking.
▢ 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar Choose a good quality vinegar for best flavor.
▢ 3 tbsp olive oil Use extra virgin for a richer taste.
▢ 2 tbsp honey Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
▢ 4 clove garlic, minced Fresh garlic gives the best flavor.
▢ 1 tsp salt Add more to taste if needed.
▢ 0.5 tsp black pepper Freshly ground is preferable.
▢ 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped Dried rosemary can be used as a substitute.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary until well combined.
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
