Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey

Instructions
 

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
    Raw chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper, and spices on a baking sheet for oven roasting.
  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook undisturbed until golden brown on the bottom, about 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 6 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is nicely browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
    Juicy pan-seared chicken breasts cooking in a black skillet with crispy, seasoned exterior. Perfect for easy dinner recipes.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • In the same pan used to cook the chicken, add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
