Braised Balsamic Chicken

Tonight I am making a very simple recipe from AllRecipes.com that I have modified a bit to suite our taste.  It's so simple and delicious!

Ingredients:

  •  2-3 skinless, boneless organic chicken breasts
  • ground pepper to taste
  • ground sea salt to taste
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • feta cheese crumbled to taste

Directions

  1. Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with a paper towel.  Then pound the chicken breasts with a mallet until slightly thinned.  
  2.  Season chicken breasts with ground black pepper and sea salt. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high, and brown the onion and seasoned chicken breasts.  Once the chicken is browned, add the garlic cloves using a garlic press and cook until fragrant.
  3. Pour tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken, and season with basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
  4. Add crumbled feta cheese and serve with brown rice or quinoa pasta.
