Chicken With Onions and Balsamic Vinegar image

I came up with this recipe when I had some chicken and no idea what to make. I wanted to use balsamic vinegar to flavor the chicken and onions. My husband liked it well enough for me to write it down, so I have!

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 large vidalia onion
2 -3 garlic cloves
salt
red pepper flakes (I use about 1/2 TBS, we like it a little hot)
1/2 cup white wine or 1/2 cup cooking wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (to taste)
1 (4 ounce) jar pimientos
rice
chicken stock

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken breast half into three pieces. Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken, cover, and let brown while you cut the onion.
  • Cut the onion into 1/4-1/2 inch wedges. Add them to the pan. Turn the chicken pieces over (they should be brown on the bottom side now). Cover and cook some more while chopping garlic.
  • Chop the garlic coarsely and add to pan.
  • Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Allow to cook a few minutes, then add the wine or cooking wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Add balsamic vinegar and pimientos. Stir, cover, and cook at simmer for 20 minutes (while you cook the rice). There will be a broth left over to spoon over the chicken, onions, and rice.
  • Cook the rice in the chicken stock. Consult the rice package for correct proportions.
  • Serve the chicken over the rice.
