Ingredients

    Olive oil spray
    3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    1/2 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
    1/4 cup pine nuts
    1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Heat a medium-size nonstick skillet on medium high, and spray with olive oil. Brown the chicken for 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover with a lid; let sit for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and cover with a plate or foil to keep warm. In the same skillet, add the vinegar and pine nuts. Let cook on medium high to reduce- about 30 seconds, or until about half the amount of liquid remains. Add the mustard and mix well to make a smooth glaze. Return chicken to the skillet, turning to coat both sides with the glaze. Cook another minute, then divide between 2 plats to serve, and spoon any remaining glaze on top.
