Parsley Balsamic Chicken Filet
A very mildly spicey chicken filet recipe
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Olive oil plus about 2 tablespoons for the skillet
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinager
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1/2 tbsp dried
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 small chicken breasts or 1 large sliced in half
- black pepper freshly ground works best
- salt optional
Instructions
- First put the balsamic vinegar, the olive oil, parsley, garlic and black pepper - salt is your option - in a bowl that can also handle the filets. Whisk it all together.
- Put a skillet that is the right size for your filets on at medium high and eyeball enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Now put the chicken filets in with the balsamic mixture. You don't need to wait for them to marinate. Just stir them around getting them coated.
- When the filets are coated with the balsamic mixture lay them out in the skillet and cook them for 3-5 minutes a side depending on how thick they are.When they are firm to a poke and/or the juices run clear and/or they read 165° on an instant read meat thermometer they are done. When they are done add the oil and vinegar mixture to the skillet and let it heat up for 10 seconds or so.
- After laying the filets on the plates spoon some of the balsamic and olive oil mixture on the filets. We hand some penne pasta with some of the balsamic liquid on it also. Ours turned out real tasty and it sure was quick and easy to put together.
