Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz or 170 g each)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (5 g)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (2 g)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
- 1 cup piquante Peppadew peppers, jarred and drained (240 ml)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey (21 g)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (30 ml)
- ¼ cup chicken broth (60 ml)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Check doneness (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). Remove from pan and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Stir in drained Peppadew peppers, honey, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return chicken to the skillet, coating with sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
