Beach Boys Chicken

I have to tell on myself.  I tried this recipe the first time because I loved the name.  Who can help but smile when you think of the Beach Boys and their music.  To this day I absolutely love their music!

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp olive oil

2 tsp Italian seasoning

kosher salt, to taste

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

4 slices mozzarella cheese

4 slices avocado

4 slices tomato

2 Tbsp chopped parsley

Balsamic glaze, optional. for drizzling

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, honey, oil, and Italian seasoning.

Season the marinade with salt and pepper.

Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes. 

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.  Oil the grates.

Grill the chicken until charred and cooked through, about 8 minutes per side.

Top the chicken with the mozzarella, avocado, and tomato, and cover the grill until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

Garnish the chicken with parsley and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.  

This can be done in a cast iron skillet on your stovetop as well.  Finish in a 350 degree oven.  It's delicious prepared either way.

I promise you, this will bring "good vibrations" for dinner!
