Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 4 (about 6 ounces each)
- Balsamic vinegar: 1/4 cup
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- Dried Italian herbs: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Honey: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and honey.
- Step 3: Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the balsamic vinegar mixture over the chicken, ensuring each breast is evenly coated.
- Step 4: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Step 5: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with pan juices for extra flavor.
Notes
- Store leftover baked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For moist reheated chicken, add a splash of chicken broth or water when microwaving.
- Serve this balsamic chicken alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
- Don't skip the resting time; it allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken breast.
