Ingredients
1/4 c. garlic, chopped
1/4 c. onion, chopped
1/4 c. olive oil
1/2 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. balsamic vinegar

Directions
Combine all the seasonings, rub on both sides of chicken, and marinate overnight. In a medium pan, sear the chicken breast skin side down until the skin is crisp. Place in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees. Remove from pan and let rest. Save pan for the reduction sauce. Add one cup of balsamic vinegar to the pan in which the chicken was cooked. Do not remove the chicken particles stuck to the pan, as they will add flavor to the reduction sauce. Cook down the balsamic vinegar to two tablespoons. Drizzle on top of chicken breasts and add your favorite sides.
