Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth, then add the dried oregano. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
