Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Tomatoes

“A fancy summer evening in Italy — in 20 minutes, faster than you can set the table.”

1Ingredients

4 thin-sliced chicken breast cutlets
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper

2Instructions

1

Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.

3

In the same skillet, add cherry tomatoes and garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes until tomatoes begin to blister and pop.

4

Pour in balsamic vinegar and honey. Let it bubble and reduce 2 minutes until it becomes a slightly thick glaze.

5

Return chicken to the pan, turning to coat entirely in the balsamic glaze.

6

Remove from heat, scatter fresh basil over the top, and serve immediately.

Pro Tip

Buying thin-sliced cutlets or slicing thick breasts in half horizontally cuts your cooking time in half.
