Steps:
- 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.

- 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 from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade, and place the chicken breasts onto the baking sheet.

Tips:
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very thin, so they cook quickly. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Use fresh cilantro. Dried cilantro has a much weaker flavor, so it's not a good substitute.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Balsamic chicken breast with cilantro is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the cilantro adds a refreshing touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
