Chicken With Rosemary and Balsamic

Ingredients

Garlic, 6 to 8 cloves, minced

Fresh Rosemary, a couple of tablespoons, snipped

Using a mallet, pound chicken to a uniform thickness. Putting it inside a big ziploc bag contains the mess nicely.

Strip rosemary leaves from stem and snip with kitchen shears until it is moderately fine.

Lightly cover the bottom of a large saute pan with olive oil.

Heat over medium heat until well-heated but not smoking.

Carefully arrange chicken in pan and season with salt and pepper.

Cook until the bottom half of each piece turns white and it comes up easily when you turn it with a spatula.

Turn chicken and season this side with minced garlic and snipped rosemary.

Cook until it again comes up easily when turned with a spatula.

Sprinkle generously with maybe a 1/4 to 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar.

Reduce heat to low and cook just until chicken is done, turning occasionally.

Remove to platter and cover with pan juices, scraping up bits of garlic and rosemary.

This is a quick and easy dish that goes very well with Parmesan Polenta, pasta or Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
