Balsamic marinade
- ⅜ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup avocado oil (or olive oil)
- ½ lemon juiced
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions
- Add the marinade ingredients to a large zipper-top bag. Shake gently to combine. Add the chicken and seal the bag. Flip the bag over and back to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and place on the grill. Grill for 7-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees. The grilling time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Meanwhile, prepare the blue cheese sauce. Add the sauce ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate extra sauce for 4-5 days.
