BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH SPINACH AND FRESH TOMATO

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet and coat the bottom with just enough olive oil (about 2 Tbsp).
• Saute garlic, dried basil, and onion until fragrant.
• Flatten chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, sesar each breast side for about 6 minutes or until done.
• When you have about 5 minutes left, add the tomatoes, vinegar and wine.
• Allow to cook down for last 5 minutes.
• Place a cup of spinach onto a plate, followed by the tomato reduction and then top off with the chicken.
• Alternatively, toss spinach in the pan and stir for a minute or two, and serve skillet contents on top of egg noodles (our favorite way to eat it!).

SKILLET BALSAMIC-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, chicken broth, sugar, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Put chicken in a shallow bowl and add marinade. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes, turning chicken halfway.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and place in skillet, saving marinade. Cook chicken for 4 minutes on each side. Add remaining marinade and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, and sauce has started to thicken and coat chicken, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE AND FRESH SPINACH

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of chicken with 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until brown, turning once. Cover and reduce heat to medium; cook 4 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear. Place on plate; loosely cover to keep warm.
• Increase heat to medium-high. To same skillet, add bell pepper, onion and garlic. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until vegetables just begin to soften. Add spinach; sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoons salt. Remove from heat; toss until spinach is barely wilted. Place on serving plates or platter. Top with chicken.
• Return same skillet to high heat. Add vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a boil; boil 30 to 60 seconds or until slightly thickened, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Drizzle balsamic glaze around chicken and vegetables.
