Method

Preparation of Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparation of House Dressing

    Mix the Dressing

    In a jar or bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Shake or whisk until well combined.
