Treat yourself to a mouth-watering, one-pan stovetop chicken dish, featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a creamy balsamic glaze. Ready in just 35 minutes, it's the perfect option for those hectic weeknight dinners.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts to the heated skillet and cook for 5 minutes, without flipping.
3
Flip the chicken breasts, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and continue cooking for 4 to 5 more minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4
Remove chicken breasts from the skillet, set aside on a plate, and cover to keep warm.
5
Add the remaining butter, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, or until onions are soft. If onions begin to burn, lower the heat.
6
Stir in Italian seasoning, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for 2 minutes.
7
Whisk in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet's bottom. Let the mixture reduce a little by cooking on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
8
Lower the heat to medium, whisk in heavy cream, and let the sauce simmer for a minute or two.
9
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, allowing them to reheat.
10
Remove from heat and let the sauce stand for a moment to thicken. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
