I came up with and cooked this last night- and it was super tasty! The only thing I didn't do quite right was I baked my chicken a little too long... but, other than that, it was SUPER yummy.
Assemble...
. Glass baking dish
. 3 or 4 Chicken breasts
. 1 cup balsamic vinegar (I told you I was on a kick!)
. 1 HUGE tomato
. A large handful of fresh Basil, chopped
. 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
. A pinch of salt and pepper
. Drizzle olive oil (or grape seed)
. Some parmesan cheese
In a bag, Pour the garlic powder, balsamic vinegar and basil (save a small bit of basil for later, too!) in with the chicken breasts. Let those sit for at least a couple hours. (yuuummmm!)
When time is up, set your oven to 350 degrees and put your chicken and all the marinated juices in to the baking dish. Slice up your tomato and lay the slices on top of the chicken evenly, if at all possible. Sprinkle a tad of salt and pepper on top of the slices along with the rest of the fresh basil. To ensure that your tomato friends do not burn, drizzle a little bit of olive oil over them. Bake her up for 30 minutes to 1 hr, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. About half way through, dust the top of the whole dish with parmesan cheese!
This would pair really well with a pasta salad, steamed veggies or a fresh salad and a glass of fruity white wine. Enjoy!
