Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Saute for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.
Serve the chicken hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
