Step by Step Method

Step 1

Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, sugar, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a bowl, place the chicken breasts in the marinade, and marinate for several hours or overnight.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken in the heated pan and cook until they start to brown, 4 minutes on each side.

Step 3

Pour the marinade into the skillet, and simmer until it thickens slightly, and the chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes.

This was really, really tasty! I used barely 1 tablespoon of sugar and it was verging on too sweet, but it was definitely good. I marinated for about 18 hours before cooking, and the chicken was moist and flavourful and even my mother liked it. Definitely a keeper, thanks for sharing!

What a great chicken recipe this is. I followed instructions as listed and ended up with great tasting, juicy and tender chicken breasts. This is a keeper!! Made for the Alphabet Soup Recipe Tag Game.

I only cooked my chicken for a few minutes then pulled it out of the pan. I added the marinade to the pan and let it reduce down. I doubled the marinade and used powdered no salt chicken stock with water for the stock. Once it was reduced to almost where I wanted it, I added the chicken, spooned the sauce over the top and let it simmer until the sauce was thick enough. I served the chicken with brown rice and pea pods and poured the sauce over all. This is one of those recipes that you want to remember, and I know I will make it many times now that I have it!

STELLAR! It's not pretty but it is Absolutely delicious! Another winner from Gkwillow. I made this as directed with 2 large frozen defrosted b/s chicken breasts, water/chicken bouillon, and extra garlic. I marinated it about 5 hours. I was worried that I had burned it, but the flavor was fabulous! I probably did reduce it more than you though as my sauce was much darker and thicker. I wanted even more of the sauce...it is sorta like BBQ sauce but in my opinion better! I've always wanted to make a balsamic reduction and now I have and it was so easy. This reminds me of a favorite dish we used to order at Rainforest Cafe that was served with garlic mashed potatoes and I loved the sauce on them too. I served this with brown rice and broccoli which both went well with the sauce too. Freddy Cat says thanks for the chicken! Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
