| Chicken with Balsamic vinegar, sweet onions, and thyme. Serve over brown rice with Broccoli and a whole wheat roll on the side! |
Ingredients:
3 Tbs flour
3/4 tsp salt
1lb (four 4 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 tsp olive oil
1 large vidalia onion, cut in half lengthwise
2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
4 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1-2 Tbs thyme
1 tsp butter
On a plate combine flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Coat chicken in flour mixture. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken, browning on both sides for about five minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 350
once all chicken pieces are browned on both sides put them in a casserole dish and cover and place in oven.
Add onions to skillet and saute over medium high heat until browned about four minutes. Add broth, vinegar, thyme, and remaining 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring often for a few minutes. Remove this mixture from skillet and add the whole mixture to the casserole dish with the chicken in it and put it back in the oven.
Leave the chicken in the oven for about 2 hours to finish cooking with the sauce.
Serve over brown rice and with broccoli on the side. It makes for a great meal and the chicken with 1/4 cup of sauce is only 6 points plus on Weight Watchers!
