Balsamic Chicken

Grocery List:
2-4 chicken breasts
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon brown sugar

Directions:
Broil your chicken about 4-5 inches from heat. This should be about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it. It should be a light brown and look like something you want to eat.

Over low to medium heat, begin to reduce the balsamic vinegar and the brown sugar in a small frying pan. Do not turn the heat up too much and continue stirring it. Eventually, you will be left with a dark brown reduction that is relatively thick. If it’s not going fast enough, you can increase the heat a bit. You do not want this to come to a boil.

When your chicken is done, drizzle the balsamic reduction over the chicken. The reduction is quite tasty, however, you can easily overpower your chicken. Use lightly.

Notes:
I make this meal when I feel the need for a lot of flavor but need a quick cleanup. In addition, I make a quick side to go with this, such as rice, noodles, etc.

I borrowed the reduction part of the recipe from the http://www.mayoclinic.com/.
