Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, honey, and chopped rosemary. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat.
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Flip the chicken halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.
Serve the chicken warm, drizzled with the balsamic reduction. You can garnish with extra rosemary if desired.
