Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 cup Goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and let cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top.
Serve the chicken topped with the balsamic tomato sauce and a generous sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese. Pair with a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
