Scale
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Make the Balsamic Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and rosemary. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Glaze: Reduce heat, pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, turning the chicken to coat evenly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat, let chicken rest, then serve with pan sauce spooned over the top.
