You have chicken in the freezer, but you don't know what to do with it. You know you want it to be fast and easy. Balsamic Chicken is a perfect option. It is also very low in fat, but it doesn't taste like it is. Ingredients:
Chicken-8 frozen boneless, skinless chicken tenders or 4 boneless,skinless chicken breasts (I like to keep frozen chicken tenders for nights when I'm in a hurry, they cook faster)
2 tsp. Vegetable Oil
2 T. Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 tsp. Thyme
2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1 cup Chicken Broth
In a skillet, saute the chicken on medium high heat in the oil until both sides are cooked and lightly browned. Stir in chicken broth, thyme, mustard and balsamic vinegar and cover. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce 30 minutes or until very tender. I shake the skillet ever 10 minutes or so to make sure the chicken stays coated in the sauce.
I like to serve the chicken with Orzo Pasta. I cook 4 oz. of Orzo in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of water until the pasta is done and the liquid is almost gone (about 10-15 minutes). It would also be very good with rice. The night I made this dish, we had homemade applesauce. You could serve a green salad instead. Enjoy!

Oh Gloria, that must have been so scary for your family. She certainly looks like a healthy little girl. You would never know she's been through so much. Hope you enjoy the chicken! Sue
I wish I could get into cooking. It looks like the reward is worth the hassle.
Madison, some things really aren't much hassle. The recipes that I'm putting on this blog tend to be simple, fast and with little clean-up. The reward is in the taste, and in the money you can save.
What would my family do without Chicken...I think we would starve! A new chicken dinner to try..yahoo...my girls will love it! You are amazing...from now on I am checking out your blog before I make dinner!!!!!! I need to add you to my sidebar blogroll so I do not miss a single post!
I don't like balsamic. Couldn't tell you why. It's sacrilege because I'm Italian...but it makes me want to puke.
koralee-we eat a lot of chicken around here too.
jm-really? If you are Italian, you've probably tried the good stuff too. Oh well, I don't like lima beans!
this might sound real blue collar but, the Great Value brand of Dijon Mustard is Awesome! (Walmart)
Cindy-I will try it. I have a Walmart Superstore near me, and buy many staples there. The Great Value stuff is taking over the shelves. I bought my first white label product last week-shredded wheat cereal, and it was fine. Thanks for the tip!
