4 boneless chicken breast halves with skin
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, rosemary) (Optional)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon chicken broth (or water), if needed to thin sauce

Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Place chicken breasts skin-side down in the skillet. Sprinkle with fresh herbs. Cook until the bottoms are well seared and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip chicken breasts over and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a breast reads 150 degrees, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and cold butter to the pan with chicken. Shake the pan gently until butter melts and the internal temperature of chicken reads at least 165 degrees, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in 1 tablespoon chicken broth to thin sauce, if needed. Enjoy with favorite sides.
