Balsamic Chicken
Tonight we had the most delicious dinner, which was super easy to whip up in a time pinch. Lucky for me, it was a hit with the hubs and Pinky too.
Several weeks ago I found a yummy sounding chicken recipe and like I always do, I saved the link to my favorites/bookmarks. You should see the amount of links I have in there. It is quite ridiculous. I may be a link-a-holic, but I don’t go to meetings. The good news is that it is organized into categories, so now it only takes me 20 minutes to find something that I’m looking for. Just kidding.
Tonight I had a craving for domesticated fowl, so I dove into my long list and found the Balsamic Chicken Thighs recipe, which sounded perfect. One problem though. I didn’t have any chicken thighs on hand. We usually only have chicken breasts, so I figured I could substitute without any dire consequences.
Here is the breakdown of the recipe my way:
Balsamic Chicken
Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Spray large frying pan with cooking spray and preheat.
Rinse and pat dry chicken.
Season with salt and pepper.
Brown well on all sides.
Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for approximately 25 minutes, or until chicken is done depending on size.
Add onions, cook for 2-3 minutes, until they soften.
Stir in balsamic vinegar, cook for 1 more minute, turn chicken to coat thoroughly.
Spoon sauce over and serve.
I served this recipe with a simple salad tossed with a Vidalia Onion dressing. Filling and delicious! I really can’t relay how tasty this chicken is, however, when trying to please a picky 5 year old, having something they will gobble up is a dream come true. Let me know if you try it!
