By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide

The problem with grilling skinless, boneless chicken breasts is that they tend to dry out quickly. This chicken marinade is low in vinegar and high in oil. It creates a barrier between the chicken and the heat so you can keep your chicken breasts tender and moist without them drying out.

Yield: Makes about 1 cup of marinade

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a ziptop bag and add chicken breasts. This is enough marinade for 4 to 6 chicken breasts.
