Tips:

  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The quality of the balsamic vinegar you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years and has a thick, syrupy consistency.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so they can brown evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the heat.
  • Reduce the balsamic vinegar until it is thick and syrupy: This will help to concentrate the flavor of the vinegar and make it more flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad are all good options.

Conclusion:

Balsamic chicken with thyme is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The balsamic vinegar and thyme add a wonderful flavor to the chicken, and the whole dish can be made in under 30 minutes.
