Balsamic Chicken Recipe

This simple yet flavorful balsamic chicken features tender, juicy chicken breasts glazed in a tangy, slightly sweet balsamic reduction. It's perfect for a quick dinner or an elegant meal.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a lighter flavor)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.

  2. Sear the Chicken:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Make the Balsamic Glaze:

    • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low.
    • Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
    • Pour in the balsamic vinegar and honey, stirring to combine.
    • Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. Coat the Chicken:

    • Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the balsamic glaze over the top.
    • Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated with the sauce.

  5. Serve:

    • Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, drizzle with remaining glaze, and garnish with fresh parsley.
    • Serve hot with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the balsamic glaze.
  • This recipe works great with chicken thighs as well, just adjust the cooking time.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.

Enjoy your flavorful and tangy Balsamic Chicken! 🐓🍴
