Steps:
- Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, sugar, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a bowl, place the chicken breasts in the marinade, and marinate for 10 minutes on each side.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken in the heated pan and cook until they start to brown and are no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes per side. Pour the marinade into the skillet, and cook until it thickens slightly, turning the chicken breasts over once or twice, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chicken breasts: Opt for organic or free-range chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture.
- Pound the chicken breasts: Pounding the chicken breasts helps to tenderize them and ensure even cooking. If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy saucepan.
- Marinate the chicken breasts: Marinating the chicken breasts in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and herbs helps to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: Cooking the chicken breasts over medium heat helps to prevent them from drying out. Cover the skillet while cooking to help the chicken breasts cook evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken breasts should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove them from the skillet.
- Let the chicken breasts rest before serving: Letting the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving helps to redistribute the juices and prevent them from drying out.
Conclusion:
Chicken breasts and balsamic vinegar is a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, these recipes have you covered. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that everyone will enjoy.
