Add chicken to pan and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove from pan.
Add garlic to pan and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant (but don’t let it burn!).

Pour in balsamic vinegar, lower heat and cook until reduced and slightly sticky (about 2-3 minutes).
Add butter and italian seasoning to pan and stir until melted and mixed through.
Put chicken back into pan to warm.
