Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 clove garlic, or more to taste, crushed
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, chicken broth, sugar, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Put chicken in a shallow bowl and add marinade. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes, turning chicken halfway.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and place in skillet, saving marinade. Cook chicken for 4 minutes on each side. Add remaining marinade and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, and sauce has started to thicken and coat chicken, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup water

1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Mix balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, water, and brown sugar together in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Make sure there's enough room for the chicken to cook without steaming. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning on the outside and remaining raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the balsamic glaze is reduced and thickened: This will help it adhere to the chicken and give it a glossy finish.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: This dish is best served hot, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

This skillet balsamic glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the balsamic glaze is sweet and tangy. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
