Not Your Momma's Chicken

I hear so many people complain that chicken is boring. I have to disagree. Chicken is such a wide open palette for anything you want to do to it.

I love the combination of Chicken and Balsamic Vinegar and I have played around with it a lot. This is where I ended up.

Amazing Balsamic Chicken

(Serves 6)

• Olive oil
• 6 chicken thighs ( you could use breasts if you prefer)
• tarragon, salt, pepper
• 1 onion, sliced in rings
• 2 gloves garlic
• 1 can of tomatoes (petite diced, crushed, whatever texture you prefer)
• 2 -4 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar(depends on your taste)
• Chicken broth
• Cooked Basmati rice

Put the olive oil in a large skillet and get it HOT!! Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and tarragon and lay in skin side down. Cook 5 minutes and turn over. Cook another 5 minutes.

Remove from pan to a plate and add extra olive oil to skillet. Saute onions until tender and add garlic. Add tomatoes, vinegar and broth. Add 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper and 1 tsp of tarragon. Bring to a boil and put chicken back in pan. Cover with a lid, reduce to simmer and let cook until chicken is done.

To serve scoop the rice into the middle of a large round plate. place chicken around the edge and pour sauce over the entire dish. Sinmple, elegant and full of flavor.
