Ingredients

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 tablespoons honey

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a 9x13 inch glass baking dish, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.

  3. Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish and turn each one to coat completely with the balsamic mixture.

  4. Bake, uncovered, for 30–40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the sauce using a spoon or basting brush.

  5. Let rest for a few minutes, then serve with the pan sauce spooned over the top.

All five ingredients are stocked at every major Charlotte chain, with balsamic vinegar widely available even at ALDI and Walmart, so no special trips needed. The real prep time is closer to 50-55 minutes when you account for marinating or letting the glaze reduce properly, not 45. Cost per serving lands around $3.50-4.50 depending on chicken price and which balsamic you choose, which is solid for a weeknight protein. The dish itself is straightforward, reheats decently, and feeds a family without fussiness, though it works better as a same-night meal since the glaze can separate on day-two chicken.
