Note: If you are cooking for a particular style of eating, please check all of your ingredients carefully.

Read more Many of my recipes have alternatives, and you want to choose the alternatives that fit the style you are preparing. Also, packaged goods may have ingredients you wouldn't expect. Soy sauce may or may not have gluten. Chocolate may or may not have dairy. This means you want to check the ingredients labels on the products you will use. Also, it's important to be aware that if you are cooking for someone with allergies or other reasons to take special care, you should avoid cross-contamination. For example, don't use the same utensil that was used in food containing the allergen or use the same cutting board that was used for food containing the allergen.

Ingredients

1 pound chicken tenders
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon 18-year aged balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/16 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Whisk together vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Stir in basil.
Mix in chicken tenders and allow to marinate for at least a half hour.
Thread chicken tenders onto skewers (optional)
Cook chicken on a grill, griddle or skillet.

Notes

I like the flavor of aged balsamic vinegar, but you can experiment with other vinegars. You may want to start by using 1/2 teaspoon of the vinegar and tasting the marinade before deciding to add the other 1/2 teaspoon.

Consider serving chicken with grilled asparagus and pineapple.
