Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, use a balsamic vinegar that has been aged for at least 12 years.
- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the chicken breasts before cooking to enhance their flavor.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat so that they cook evenly and do not burn.
- If you are using a nonstick skillet, you may not need to add any oil. However, if you are using a regular skillet, you will need to add a small amount of oil to prevent the chicken breasts from sticking.
- Serve the chicken breasts with the balsamic onion jam immediately.
