Grilled chicken and bell peppers are taken to the next level with a sweet ale and balsamic honey reduction.
Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breasts
- 3 bell peppers (sliced into strips)
- 1 orange (zested and juiced)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 handful fresh basil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1-3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 1-2 bottle Bison Brewing Honey Basil Ale
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Open up a bottle of Honey Basil Ale and pour into a perfect pint glass to get you in the mood. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Wash the fresh basil, then roll it and Chiffonade. | |
| Step 3 | |
| In a large baking pan, combine the orange juice, zest, honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper and basil, and stir well. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Add the bell peppers and chicken and toss to coat. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Cover and let sit for 2-4 hours in the fridge, tossing often so all ingredients marry. | |
| Step 6 | |
| After marinating, pull the chicken and bell peppers out, and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. | |
| Step 7 | |
| Bring the marinade to a boil to kill off all the evil salmonella/raw chicken poisons. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Put the bell peppers in a grill pan and place the chicken on a grill over medium heat. | |
| Step 9 | |
| After 5-12 minutes (depending on thickness) flip the chicken. | |
| Step 10 | |
| Spoon the marinade over both the chicken and the bell peppers (stirring the bell peppers continuously). | |
| Step 11 | |
| After 5-12 minutes, flip the chicken once more and spoon more marinade over the first-cooked side. | |
| Step 12 | |
| Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let rest for about five more minutes while the bell peppers finish cooking. | |
| Step 13 | |
| Serve and enjoy on a gorgeous summer evening in the backyard with another bottle of Bison Brewing Honey Basil Ale. | |
