Time 50m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon cold water
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and slowly add to the balsamic sauce. Stir until thickened. Toss chicken strips in balsamic sauce and serve.
