By gtbalm

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon minced onion, dried
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, dried
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1/8 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 skinless boneless chicken breast or pork tenderloins

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, water, onion, red pepper flakes, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary, parsley, chili powder, and oregano in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag.

Add the chicken breasts or pork tenderloins, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes to overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, or lightly grease a broiler pan. Remove the chicken breasts or pork tenderloins from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade, and place the chicken breasts or pork tenderloins onto the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken breasts or pork tenderloins are golden brown, and no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes.
