Method
Preparation and Marination
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Whisk until well blended and the honey has dissolved. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 to 4 hours.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Line a baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, spaced evenly, and pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Optionally, baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through baking.

Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken longer if possible, and always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
