Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 cup Goat cheese, crumbled
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Step 6
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and let cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top.
Step 9
Serve the chicken topped with the balsamic tomato sauce and a generous sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese. Pair with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
