Balsamic Chicken

9 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (see note in intro)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 teaspoons butter
  • parsley sprig
  • cherry tomatoes

Directions

  1. 1
    On a hard surface with meat mallet, lightly pound chicken to 1/4-inch. To minimize the mess, place the breasts/tenders in a zipper-lock bag (unsealed) before pounding (if doing so, ONLY use a flat-surface mallet -- not one with ridges).
  2. 2
    Sprinkle lemon-pepper seasoning evenly on both sides of chicken. Press to adhere.
  3. 3
    In a large frying pan, pour oil and heat to medium temperature.
  4. 4
    Add chicken breasts and cook, turning once, about 7 minutes or until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease. If substituting tenders, cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until done.
  5. 5
    Remove chicken to warm serving platter (keep warm). In medium bowl, mix together vinegar, broth and garlic; add to frying pan. Cook over medium-high heat (scraping up brown meat bits) about 2-4 minutes or until mixture is reduced and syrupy.
  6. 6
    Add butter; stir to melt.
  7. 7
    Place chicken on serving dish and spoon sauce over chicken.
  8. 8
    Garnish with parsley sprigs and cherry tomatoes.
