Best 4 Balsamic Chicken With Spinach And Fresh Tomato Recipes

BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH BABY SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove the chicken and set aside. To the same pan, add the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Lower the heat to medium and add the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth to the pan and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the couscous in a serving bowl. Top with the spinach, chicken and balsamic-tomato sauce.

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!).

ROASTED BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH BABY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, and garlic together in an oven-safe baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the vinegar mixture.
• Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roast chicken in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Add tomatoes to the baking dish and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Sprinkle lemon zest and drizzle lemon juice over the chicken.

• *A few pointers:.
• I use either thin-sliced chicken or pound the chicken so it's about a 1/2 inch thick. It cooks much more evenly that way. This recipe is also tasty with a dash or two of dried basil and rosemary and a few turns of fresh ground black pepper added to the vinegar/tomato mixture. The prep time of this recipe includes washing the spinach, cooking the couscous and pounding the chicken.
