Main Dish
Simple herbs, good olive oil, and a rich balsamic reduction come together in this rustic skillet chicken. It’s an easy meal with deep flavor and honest ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Heartstone chicken tenders
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ⅛ tsp ground dried rosemary
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tbsp balsamic reduction, or adjust to taste
Directions
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken tenders and coat well in the herb mixture. Let sit for 15 min to absorb the flavor.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour the chicken and herb oil mixture into the skillet.
- Cook 5–6 min per side, until dark golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
- Reduce heat to low.
- Pour the balsamic reduction over the cooked chicken and gently turn to coat.
- Let cook on low for 1–2 min, allowing the reduction to warm and slightly thicken.
- Balsamic reduction contains natural sugars and can burn quickly, so keep heat low and watch carefully.
- Spoon the warm reduction from the pan over the chicken before serving.
