Garlic Chicken in Balsamic Vinegar

Skinless, boneless chicken breast is probably the number one choice for getting lean protein in your diet. It is easy to find and can be inexpensive.


I have had several requests lately to post some good chicken breast recipes. Yes - skinless, boneless chicken breast is flat-out boring and am not one to spend hours in the kitchen so any dish that I cook has to have a few ingredients and be easy to make.



Garlic Chicken in Balsamic Vinegar

1 pound thinly sliced chicken cutlets (easy to make your own)
Salt and Pepper
4 Garlic Cloves
1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
3 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley

Season cutlets with salt and pepper and chop the garlic.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a pan. Add chicken and cook over med-high heat, turning once, until browned (about 1.5 minutes per side). Remove to plate, leaving drippings in pan.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan along with the garlic. Cook over med-low heat, stirring, until softened but not brown, about one minute. Add the vinegar and 1/2 cup water to the pan. Bring to a boil, stirring up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, Boil one minute. Stir in the parsley.

Return the chicken and any accumulated juices on the plate to the pan and simmer for one minute to heat through.

I have several great recipes in my stash and I will post more in the future.
