Ingredients:

* 500g boneless, skinless chicken breast (or fresh cod fillet)

* 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

* 2 teaspoon olive oil

* 2 tablespoon fresh thyme

* Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Sprinkle salt and ground pepper over chicken breast on both sides. Heat a large skillet for which you have a cover over medium-high heat.

Add olive oil once it's hot. Put the chicken in the pan when oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 7 minutes or until the underside is brown and a curst begins to form.

Turning the chicken over carefully, adjust the heat down to medium-low and covering the skillet. Cook for about an additional 7 minutes. Chicken is done when it flakes with a fork.

Place chicken from skillet on a plate. Set the heat back up to medium-high. Cook quickly while adding balsamic vinegar and scraping the pan with a spatula.

Turn off the heat, place chicken back in the skillet and turn over to coat both sides with the vinegar. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.

* Note: Chicken breast should cook for about 15 minutes. If you choose fish instead, it will need a total cooking time of about 10 minutes for each inch of thickness.
