Balsamic Chicken with Tomatoes Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, tenderloins removed and breasts lightly pounded to an even thickness
  • Ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over low heat. Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with ground black pepper and garlic salt. Increase heat to medium-high and after 1 minute add chicken; fry until golden brown and juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes each side. Remove chicken to a plate, cover and keep warm.
  2. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add onions; saute until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning. Simmer to blend flavors, about 5 minutes, adding up to 1/4 cup of water to keep mixture saucy. Return chicken to pan; continue to simmer until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
