There are so many elements to this dish that excite me. Balsamic Vinegar is always high on my list of ingredients I love to use and it’s the star of the show for Balsamic Chicken with Onions. This dish comes together quickly and packs a real punch of flavor.
Consider making this recipe for the one you love for Valentine’s Day or for any other special occasion. But, I must admit, it’s simple enough to make for any week night meal.
Balsamic Chicken with Onions
You saute the chicken breasts in olive oil, then saute the onions and add in the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar along with spices. The mixture boils down into a succulent sauce that leaves your mouth singing.
Balsamic sings in this recipe.
I believe you should use a quality balsamic vinegar when you cook. It will make a difference in the end product. I don’t mean you need to buy the most expensive, but don’t go for the cheapest either, buy something in between.
Sink your teeth into this dish!
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family and I do. I think it will become a “go to” chicken dish!
Enjoy!
