Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.333 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the glaze over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Add the chopped rosemary and baby spinach to the skillet during the last 3 minutes of cooking, stirring gently until the spinach is wilted.
Remove from heat and let the dish rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (optional) before serving.
Serve the Tuscan Glazed Chicken warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crusty loaf of bread.
