The protein that goes with almost anything, this is a go to on my list for any occasion. Skewering is particularly great for summer grilling season and gatherings, but I also love using this same balsamic marinated chicken for pasta salads, quinoa bowls, and salads.

I prefer using chicken thighs for this recipe, but you could also do this with chicken breast as well.
