Broiled Chicken with Balsamic Salad
This broiled chicken is fabulous! So moist, so juicy, so worth making! No grill pan needed, no stovetop mess! Just a broiler and a pan lined with aluminum foil! I plan to make a huge batch of this and park it in the fridge for the week. The kids will love noshing on it and it’s just perfect to add to salads. The picture below was not made with chipotle or paprika but next time I will add some for even more flavor and color!
