So tonight for dinner I did another food experiment loosely based off a recipe I have. I was expecting tears and plenty of push back but it was well received by all!
Baked Balsamic Chicken.
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
salt
pepper
oregano
1 large shallot sliced
1 large green bell pepper, sliced
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
2 tsp rosemary finely minced
2 TB balsamic vineagar
1 cup chicken broth
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and garlic until it starts to cook. Place the chicken. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and oregano. Brown on both sides, about 3 minutes a side. Place in baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile in the same saucepan that you cooked the chicken in, place the shallot, peppers and rosemary. Saute for about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and cook 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Pour over chicken and bake additional 10 minutes.
