Description
A delightful and savory dish of juicy chicken breasts and fresh vegetables in a balsamic marinade, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup spinach
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and remove the chicken from the marinade, saving the marinade for later.
- Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Add cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet, pouring the reserved marinade over the top. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Plate the chicken and veggies, drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet, and enjoy.
Notes
For more flavor, marinate the chicken longer. Adjust cooking times if using chicken thighs.
