Tips:

  • For a crispier chicken, sear it in a hot skillet for a few minutes per side before adding the sauce.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar.
  • To make the sauce thicker, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the skillet and cook until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
