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)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth, then add the dried oregano. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
Step 7
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).
Step 8
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 9
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.
