Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear, and it won't be as flavorful.
Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the heat. This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat.
Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This recipe is versatile and can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This savory balsamic herb chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the balsamic herb sauce is rich and tangy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
