Balsamic BBQ Chicken

I know it's been a couple of days since posting a recipe. But I haven't had any opportunity to actually cook the last couple of weeks. I did manage to cook Balsamic BBQ Chicken which is a friends recipe. I can't even remember why she gave it to me, but I'm glad she did.

It's a good recipe. I made rice with it, and any side would go with it. It's like BBQ chicken, but in a pan and with balsamic vinegar. Nummers!

Balsamic BBQ Chicken
Serves 6

  • 6 Boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 1 can Tomato paste
  • 1 can Low sodium chicken broth (14.5 oz)
  • 2/3 cup Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 4 Green onion, sliced

Wash and slice green onions, separating tops from white bottoms. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Salt and pepper the chicken to taste.

Add chicken to skillet and brown 1-2 minutes per side. Remove chicken and keep warm. Lower heat to medium-low and allow skillet to cool slightly.

Add garlic and white part of green onions to skillet and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in tomato pasted and chicken broth and mix well. Increase heat to medium-high; add vinegar and honey and cook to boil.

Reduce heat to low, return chicken to skillet, cover partially and simmer about 30 minutes or until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the center.
