Balsamic Chicken
This simple, one-pot meal is a weeknight staple in my house. The dish gets its kick from rich, tangy balsamic vinegar, one of my all-time favorite flavor enhancers. Packed with lean protein from the chicken plus fiber-rich veggies, this satisfying, low-cal meal will keep you feeling full long after you finish your plate.
Serves 4.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 4 to 5 garlic cloves, minced (may substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, medium-thin (may substitute 8 chicken tenders)
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar (use a good-quality, aged variety if possible)
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with liquids, preferably no salt added
- Kosher salt (optional)
- Black Pepper (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Liberally coat a large sauté pan with oil spray, and preheat it over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic (or sprinkle in the garlic powder if using). Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions and peppers begin to soften. Add additional oil spray or a tablespoon of water if the vegetables start to stick to the bottom of the skillet.?Add the chicken to the pan and sauté for about 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
Add the balsamic vinegar and canned tomatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with optional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
