Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 4 ounces Goat cheese (soft)
- 2 cups Mixed greens or arugula
- 4 pieces Whole wheat or brioche sandwich buns
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Add olive oil to the pan and sear the chicken breasts for 5–6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the balsamic vinegar and honey, scraping up any browned bits from the chicken. Stir and let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
Return the chicken breasts to the pan, turning them over to coat evenly in the balsamic glaze. Remove from heat.
Slice the sandwich buns and lightly butter the inside halves. Toast them on a skillet or grill pan until golden and crisp.
Spread goat cheese on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
Place a glazed chicken breast on top of the goat cheese, followed by a handful of mixed greens or arugula.
Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
