Next on our Sweet as Pie list was Balsamic Vinegar Chicken with Fresh Tomatoes. Although it was easy and convenient enough for a weeknight meal, it really didn’t make a lasting impression on us. We were hoping for a great balsamic taste, but what we got ended up being fairly bland. Here’s how it came together:
First I browned some chicken and sliced some grape tomatoes and red onions.
Next, I mixed garlic, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and water together and poured the mixture over the chicken.
I layered on the tomatoes, onions, and sliced mushrooms before baking for about 35 minutes.
We were just underwhelmed by this dish. Conceptually, it’s a great idea, but it just didn’t translate to reality in our kitchen. Oh well, you win some, you lose some, right? And with the right combination of other ingredients, the leftovers actually made pretty tasty chicken sandwiches and salad toppings, so all was not lost. On to the next dish!
