Sweet Italian Chicken

The other night I just improvised this recipe because I couldn’t really find one I wanted to make. Aaaand then I dragged my feet for days on posting it, but here it is, finally. It’s simple and tasty, and you probably have the ingredients on hand.

Sweet Italian Chicken

2 chicken breasts
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup cooking wine
2 teaspoons honey
Salt and pepper

1) Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add your olive oil and swirl to coat.

2) Season your chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.

3) Add your chopped garlic, rosemary, and oregano to the pan and sautee for about a minute.

4) Add the chicken to the pan. Brown on both sides. It does not need to be completely cooked at this point.

5) Take your chicken out and set it aside after it’s well-browned.

6) Add your chicken stock and cooking wine to the pan. Bring to a boil, then take it down to a simmer. Let the mixture reduce to half.

7) Add the honey and stir it in well. Boil again and let it reduce to half again.

8) Put your chicken back in the pan and cook on medium heat until done. Turn it over every so often.

It should look something like that. Pour the excess sauce left in the pan over the chicken when you serve it.

This chicken was really delicious. It was a little smoky and a little savory with a hint of sweetness from the honey in the sauce. It was also super tender and juicy. A perfect dinner after a long day—easy to make, simple ingredients, and really tasty and filling. :)
