A delightful chicken dish featuring a sweet and tangy pepper glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even thickness.
Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking and prevents dryness.
Season the chicken with salt and coat it lightly with flour, shaking off any excess.
Use a light hand when coating with flour to avoid a heavy crust.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
In the same skillet, sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the diced red bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute.
Cut the peppers into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and sugar, stirring to combine. Let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the butter and parsley until the butter is melted.
Adding the butter off the heat creates a smooth and glossy sauce.
Pour the glaze over the chicken and serve immediately.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
