Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts - 300 grams
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar - 60 ml
• 1 tablespoon olive oil - 15 ml
• 2 cloves garlic - minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano - 1 gram
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and oregano. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce for about 10 minutes, or until thickened.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
