  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme), optional

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for better flavor).
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try marinating the chicken overnight.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
  • If you don’t have Dijon mustard, substitute with regular mustard or omit it.
