Balsamic Glazed Chicken

 

This boneless, skinless chicken breast dish is on par with something you'd be served in a nice restaurant, but it's incredibly easy to make. The sweet and tangy balsamic sauce goes perfectly with the Italian herb-rubbed chicken. Serve garnished with fresh herbs, or chop up 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs to replace the Italian seasoning for even better flavor! - Tara
