I needed something in a hurry.
I had this awesome Butternut Squash Bake that I was making but needed something to go along with it.
With nothing thawed.
My brother saved the day by bringing home a whole bunch of fresh boneless chicken breasts from Sam's Club. So chicken it was!
These were very simple but incredibly delicious. Great for dinner when you're in a hurry!

Balsamic Sauteed Chicken Breast Recipe
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. sugar
5 (6 oz) boneless chicken breasts (not too thick)
Salt and pepper
2 green onions
Combine broth, vinegar, honey and sugar
Spray non stick pan with cooking spray. Salt and pepper chicken breasts and brown in pan. Cook 4 - 5 minutes on each side until there is a nice brown. Add balsamic mixture, scraping to loosen bits on the bottom. Add green onion. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup. About 4 - 5 minutes. If chicken isn't quite done, cover and cook before sauce reduces. Serve sauce over the chicken.

What a good looking meal and quick too! Certainly will be one I will try too.
ReplyDeleteI will be over for dinner. You cook just for me. I like everything you make.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link.
I so needed inspiration for dinner tonight and this is it! But I do struggle when I cook chicken in a pan; baking in the oven is easier for me.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good. And so easy. I love Balsamic vinegar. I think I have all of these ingredients on hand so I am thinking this will be on my dinner table sometime in the next few days :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Tasty Traditions.
