Balsamic Chicken

This is one of the easiest chicken recipes ever.  I got it from Weelicious, again and it's become a staple for me because it's tasty, I can start it while Liam is napping, and then finish it easily right before we eat.  It takes next to no effort and if I marinate it in a Ziploc back, next to no dishes.  Hooray!  I love it with sweet potato fries or simply baked sweet potatoes.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 
·          2 Tbsp Olive Oil
·         2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
·         1 Garlic Clove, minced
·         4 Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless
Directions:
·         Place the first 4 ingredients in a bowl, zipper bag or dish and whisk to combine.
·         Add the chicken breasts, cover and marinade for 1 hour or overnight
Cook chicken breasts on a grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through, but still moist OR  I spray a pan with cooking spray, heat for 2 minutes on medium/high heat, then add the chicken, lower to medium and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side.
