Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet along with the minced garlic and rosemary sprigs. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the vinegar reduce slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth and honey, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the rosemary sprigs from the skillet and discard. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the balsamic rosemary sauce. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
