Braised Balsamic Chicken

Ingredients
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions
1.Season chicken breasts with ground black pepper and garlic salt. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet, and brown the onion and seasoned chicken breasts.
2.Pour tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken, and season with basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes.

I made a half recipe of this one night this week since it was pretty simple and I had all the ingredients. I cooked it a bit too long waiting on Jeremy to get home but it was still good! I bet using fresh herbs would make it even better. I mixed the tomatoes, balsamic, and herbs ahead of time and let them soak together in the fridge then dumped them over the chicken and added a little chicken broth to the skillet while I was cooking. Love these easy chicken recipes!
