Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds skinless and boneless (cut in half lengthwise)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup maple syrup (I use Crown Maple syrup))
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the garlic. Cook for about a minute stirring constantly. Add the broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to remove any brown bits. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes or until the broth has reduced by half.
  • Stir in the maple syrup mixture and mix to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet and turn to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is well coated and the mixture looks syrupy. Remove from the heat and serve. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional).

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
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.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will add depth to the glaze.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it's cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This skillet balsamic glazed chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful balsamic vinegar sauce that's perfect for serving over rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this skillet balsamic glazed chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
