Balsamic Glazed Chicken with Rosemary Recipe

When you cook with a balsamic as rich and velvety as our Traditional Godfather Balsamic Vinegar, you don’t need a complicated recipe to create something extraordinary. This dish brings together juicy chicken, fragrant rosemary, and the deep sweetness of aged balsamic for a meal that tastes like it came straight out of an Italian countryside kitchen.

Why This Recipe Works

Our Godfather Balsamic is crafted in Modena, Italy — where true balsamic begins. Aged for depth and character, it reduces into a glossy glaze that coats the chicken with bold, savory-sweet flavor. Paired with a touch of Early Harvest EVOO, this simple dish transforms into a restaurant-worthy dinner with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 chicken breasts

• ¼ cup Godfather Balsamic Vinegar

• 1 tbsp Nuvo Early Harvest EVOO (or your favorite Nuvo EVOO)

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)

• Salt & freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken
   Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper.

2. Sear in Olive Oil
   Heat Nuvo EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

3. Add Aromatics
   Reduce heat slightly. Add minced garlic and rosemary, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Create the Glaze
   Pour in Godfather Balsamic. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glossy glaze.

5. Serve & Enjoy
   Spoon the balsamic glaze over the chicken before serving. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
   
   

Serving Suggestion

For a true Italian-inspired meal, serve this dish with a drizzle of extra Godfather Balsamic on the plate and a side of crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Why Choose Nuvo’s Godfather Balsamic?

Unlike grocery store balsamics that are often mixed with syrups and additives, our Godfather Balsamic is aged in wooden casks in Modena, giving it a pure, bold, and authentic flavor. It’s a staple for drizzling, glazing, or elevating everyday meals into something unforgettable.
