For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine along with the chicken broth. Feel free to substitute other herbs, such as thyme or oregano, for the rosemary and sage. Serve with a side of crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or creamy polenta to soak up the delicious sauce. If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, regular balsamic vinegar can be used, but it will impart a slightly darker color and more intense flavor. Make sure not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be rubbery.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet, cover with foil, and set aside to keep warm.
02
StepAdd the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the chopped leeks and cook over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chopped bacon and mashed garlic and cook until the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
03
StepAdd the halved cherry tomatoes, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped fresh rosemary, and fresh sage to the skillet. Stir to combine.
04
StepReturn the chicken breasts to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
05
StepPour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the sauce has reduced by about half and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
