Balsamic Chicken Breast

Ingredients:


6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 halves)
1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, minced (1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves can be substituted)
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Preparation:

Rinse chicken and pat dry.

In a small bowl, combine rosemary, garlic, pepper, and salt; mix together well. Place chicken in large bowl and drizzle with oil. Rub chicken with spice mixture, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy roasting pan or iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray; place chicken in sprayed pan and bake for 10 minutes.

Turn chicken. If drippings begin to stick to pan, add 3 to 4 tbsp water and deglaze. Bake chicken for another 10 minutes or until the outside is golden-brown and center is no longer pink. If pan is dry, stir in another 1 to 2 tablespoons water to loosen drippings. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over chicken in pan. Transfer chicken to plates. Stir liquid in pan and drizzle over chicken.
