Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the balsamic vinegar, honey, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 6
Cook the balsamic mixture for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.
Step 7
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the chicken breasts. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
Step 9
Serve the balsamic chicken warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
