How to Make Balsamic Chicken

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes (longer is better, up to 30 minutes).
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the chicken beautifully.
  7. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve and enjoy!
