We were out much of the day yesterday and wanted something quick, easy, and satisfying for dinner. That's not much to ask ;) My husbands favorite dish is Balsamic Chicken. Unfortunately I don't follow a recipe so it comes out different every time. Never bad, but never the same...lol. So I decided I would write this recipe up because it was so good!
Honey Balsamic Chicken
3-4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, washed and seasoned with salt and pepper
2 TBS Butter
2 TBS Olive Oil
1/2 cup Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
2 TBS Lemon Juice
4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 tsp Honey
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and then chicken
- Cook chicken until browned crispy, about 7-9 minutes on each side (don't worry if chicken is not cooked it will continue to cook in the sauce
- Add chicken broth, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and honey to the skillet and mix well
- Simmer for about 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center
- Flip chicken half way through to coat well in the sauce
- Plate chicken and spoon extra sauce over top of the chicken
The chicken takes on such a great flavor and the sauce is fantastic for dipping a nice crusty bread into. Serve with some veggies and a side salad to round out the meal. YUM!

ReplyDeleteWanted to let you know I featured this on this week's What's New Wednesdays! I hope you'll stop by and link up more inspiring things!
Thank you so much! :)
DeleteMy husband cooks like you do - he doesn't follow a recipe, he just adds stuff until it tastes the way he wants. He makes the most delicious marinades for chicken that way!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by the combo of honey and balsamic, I'll have to try this!
My grandma taught me how to cook and since I have been posting recipes on my blog it has been a challenge to actually learn how to measure...lol I know that probably sound weird, but I was always taught "sprinkle of this", "dash of that", a "glob here", mix it up, and taste it. In the long run this has really helped me and now my recipes are getting recorded so someday my kids can make them with ease :)
DeleteI think my hubby would like this recipe. I'll be sure he gets a look at it (he's more of a chef and I'm more of a mac n cheese girl) Thanks for linking up to the Dishing It Up Recipe hop!
ReplyDeleteThis is super easy and yummy! I hope you guys get a chance to try it :)
