step 1:
Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the chicken.

step 2:
Pour the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium flame and sear the chicken on one side for 6 minutes. If using chicken with skin, first sear skin side up to preserve the shape.

After it changes color, sear the opposite side for about 6 minutes.

step 4:
Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a serving dish. Add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, grated garlic, sugar, salt and pepper to the pan. Boil 2 minutes until the sauce becomes thick. Add the butter and melt.

comment:
Balsamic vinegar & soy sauce creates a mellow and deep taste and matches chicken very well. It also suits salad and fish very well.
