Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil.
Brown the chicken on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes a side; give unbrowned edge pieces an extra 2 minutes.
Mixing the sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup dark balsamic dressing
  • dried thyme
  • dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp mustard
Mix the grated garlic, balsamic dressing, dried thyme, dried oregano and mustard.
  • ¾ cup chicken stock
Deglaze with the chicken stock and add the dressing with the herbs; stir everything around.
Raise the heat to medium high and cook about 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the sauce has reduced.
Check the thicker pieces reach 165F internal with a meat thermometer; they keep cooking off the heat.
