South Beach balsamic chicken is easy and flavorful.

Balsamic vinegar and white wine, combined with rosemary and garlic, pack this South Beach Phase One balsamic chicken with a robust juiciness. In the wintertime, we make this marinated chicken in the oven. But in the summer, we grill it. Delicious either way, and oh, so easy.

The Method

Here's what you do: Mix the marinade, slather it on the chicken, refrigerate for at least one hour, turning the chicken over to make sure the marinade sinks into the chicken on all sides. Then bake or grill.

The recipe comes from The South Beach Diet (affiliate link) cookbook, which has some fabulous whole foods recipes. Don and I have incorporated several of the South Beach recipes into our regular recipe repertoire.

What You Need

This is so simple, all you need are measuring cups and spoons and a good baking dish for marinating and baking the chicken in. You can even use a zip-closed plastic bag when marinating. And a pair of cooking tongs is helpful.

But what you really want is a great gas grill and some wonderful dinnerware and glassware. Am I right?

  • 2 cloves garlic minced or ½ teaspoon jarred, minced garlic

  • Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken and make sure all parts of the chicken are coated. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least one hour. At least once in the hour, turn the chicken over to make sure the vinaigrette covers all the chicken.
