Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 garlic cloves, slivered
1/2 cup pureed fresh or canned tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey

Steps:

Heat oil in non stick skillet over high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; add to pan and saute, turning once to brown. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from skillet. Reduce heat to low, add the onions and garlic, and cook until wilted, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato puree and broth. Using a wooden spoon, scrape bottom of skillet to gather bits from bottom of pan. Transfer chicken breasts back to pan, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove the chicken to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Whisk together the vinegar and honey in a small bowl and pour into the pan, stirring. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve.
