Braised Balsamic Chicken

Step 1

Prep the chicken. Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Season them with the garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Cook the onion. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer the onion to a plate.

Step 3

Sear the chicken. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned.

Step 4

Braise the chicken. Top the chicken with the cooked onion, diced tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, oregano, basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer covered for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F.

Step 5

Garnish and serve. Serve garnished with parsley over rice, pasta or couscous.
