Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter, at room temp
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup chicken broth
16 grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and shake off any excess.
  • Combine the oil and 1 T. of the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan and cook, turning once, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add the shallot and garlic to the hot pan; saute for 1 minute, then add the vinegar to deglaze the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom. Add the chicken broth and tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat. Stirring constantly, add the basil, remaining 2 T. butter and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the butter is incorporated into the sauce.
  • Place a chicken breast on each plate and pour the sauce over. Serve at once.
