Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar

Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar
Adapted from this recipe.














Ingredients:
  • 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips or pounded flat, optional)
  • Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 2 tablespoons of Smart Balance
Directions:
  • Season chicken with TSSS, pepper and lemon juice.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat and cook the chicken until done and the juices run clear (7 - 10 minutes per side for breasts, 3-4 minutes per side for strips or tenders).  Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Add balsamic vinegar, white wine, garlic and cherry tomatoes to the pan and deglaze it, scraping up all the browned chicken bits.  Cook for a few minutes to reduce the sauce by about half and until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  • Stir in and melt the butter.  Add the chicken back to the pan and flip to coat all sides.
  • Plate the chicken and pour all the yummy sauce over the top.
