Sticky Chicken

Print Recipe
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate chicken for 24 hours (see recipe). In a shallow baking dish, combine all ingredients, except chicken; stir until sugars dissolve. Add chicken and turn to coat well; cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Transfer chicken and marinade to a heavy, non-stick skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat; bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 8 to 13 minutes, turning each piece occasionally, until cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  • Raise heat to medium and cook marinade until syrupy, stirring occasionally at first then stirring constantly as the mixture starts to thicken, 4 to 7 minutes total.
  • Return chicken to skillet, coat with the sauce and serve immediately.
