Delicious Balsamic Glazed Chicken Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  2. Marinate Chicken

    Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
