Balsamic Glazed Chicken (aka "Sticky Chicky")
Report
A simple homemade sauce is used to baste this Balsamic Glazed Chicken as it cooks. The result is tender chicken with a slightly sweet, and tangy taste.

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1.5 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken and cook about 10 minutes or until slightly brown on all sides.
- Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.
- Add garlic to pan; saute over medium heat for 2 minutes. Don't over cook, it tastes nasty if you burn it. (Just saying).
- Stir in tomato paste and slowly add chicken stock, scraping to dissolve any bits clinging to bottom of pan.
- Increase heat to medium-high; add vinegar and honey and rapidly boil for 3 minutes to reduce liquid to one cup.
- Return chicken to pan; reduce heat to medium. Cook, turning, about 12-18 minutes or until liquid thickens and becomes a dark mahogany glaze and chicken is done.
- Serve with some mashed potatoes to sop up all the yummy sauce, and maybe some steamed vegetables if you must ;)
- Devour.
Notes
- What temperature should chicken be cooked to?
- What to serve with glazed chicken?
- Try these epic sauteed green beans, or roasted broccoli and a starchy side like rice, scalloped potatoes or mashed potatoes
- Chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees F when tested in the thickest part using a digital thermometer.
- Tent the chicken with foil to keep it warm while you make the glaze.
- Keep an eye on the heat – your glaze will burn, and that won’t taste good at all!
