This balsamic chicken is one of my favorite dishes to make and it is super easy to fix. It tastes delicious and is low on carbs! I slightly tweaked the original recipe for Balsamic Chicken from All Recipes.
Ingredients
- Boneless chicken breast. I use 2 large breasts trimmed in half lengthwise to make 4 servings. You can use up to 6 chicken breasts
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes or fresh tomatoes diced
- 1 small can of sliced mushrooms or fresh mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Mix
- 1 tsp of sugar (optional)
Side Dish of Zucchini Pasta Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook seasoned chicken breasts until chicken is browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add onion and mushrooms; cook and stir until onion is browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken; season with Italian Seasoning Spice Mix. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Make sure you give this a quick taste, sometimes it can be somewhat bitter, if that is the case, toss in a teaspoon of sugar.
Directions for Zucchini Pasta Side Dish
- Heat olive oil in separate skillet.
- Prepare zucchini with spiralizer and add to skillet and toss for 4-5 minutes.
- Serve alongside the chicken covering the zucchini with the sauce and tomatoes.
Enjoy – you are going to love it!
