Pan Seared Chicken with Balsamic Cream Sauce
Want to get your dinner on the table fast? Try this balsamic creamy sauce for chicken, it's quick, simple, different, yet very impressive. I can't say that it looks great on the picture, but it tastes like it came from a gourmet restaurant. Sooo good, that I could eat this sauce with a spoon. You'll want to put it on everything (I've already successfully tried it on pasta, rice and mashed potatoes).

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • salt (to taste)
  • parsley (fresh, chopped, for serving)
