AUNT JULES' BALSALMIC CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS
My aunt made this for Christmas Eve one year -- it's fantastic! I tweaked her recipe just a bit to my taste, and cooked this meal for a date night. We have been together ever since! Adjust the garlic and vinegar to your liking. I happen to believe that garlic should be included in every meal,so I tend to add more depending on my mood. Don't be put off by the smell of the vinegar. As it cooks down, it becomes sweet and not as strong. Your nose may tell you otherwise! I serve a Pinot Grigio and rice pilaf with this dish to round out the meal.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and drizzle the olive oil into the hot skillet. Cook and stir 4 garlic cloves just until fragrant, about 1 minute, smashing them into the oil with a spoon as you stir. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and brown them in the hot oil until the surface is golden and the meat is no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter and keep warm.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, and scrape up any browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in 2 more cloves of garlic, the green, red, and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and asparagus, and cook and stir until the vegetables are brightly colored and softened, about 10 minutes. Toss the spinach leaves with the hot vegetables to just wilt the spinach. Divide the cooked vegetables between 4 serving plates, and top each plate with a chicken breast.
- Stir the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar into the skillet over medium-low heat, stirring until the vinegar comes to a full boil and the sugar has dissolved. Cook the mixture until reduced and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes; spoon the balsamic sauce over each chicken breast to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Use a variety of peppers: Bell peppers, poblano peppers, and Anaheim peppers are all good choices for this dish. You can also use a mix of different colors of peppers to add visual appeal.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and peppers, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chicken and peppers in batches: If you're using a large amount of chicken and peppers, you may need to cook them in batches. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is thick and syrupy, with a rich, sweet flavor.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken and peppers will be at their best when they're hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken and Peppers with Balsamic Vinegar is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the peppers are roasted to perfection, and the balsamic vinegar adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that brings the dish together. Serve this dish with a side of rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
