I teach high school esl, and sometimes I just do not want to have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen after dealing with children all day. On those days, my favorite thing to do is toss things in balsamic vinegar and minced garlic and then roast them in the oven for however long is needed. This recipe came from one of those days when nothing sounded particularly nice, but I wanted something fast and easy. At the end, I threw in a sprig of rosemary we had gotten from my gentleman's parents, and you wouldn't believe how amazing this smelled!
This recipe has become one of my go-tos for practically all of my chicken needs - quesadillas, salads, pizza, fried rice, and anything else you would put chicken on. My gentleman and I also love to eat this on its own with a delicious salad and some baked brussels sprouts or asparagus. This is also one of the easiest ways I have ever tried to make chicken as well.
If you use this recipe, please comment with what you did. I always love new ways to make dinner!
Garlic Ginger Crusted Balsamic Chicken
2 chicken breasts
~1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 inches ginger paste
1 long sprig fresh rosemary
a dash of olive oil
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place both chicken breasts in a loaf pan and dash sparingly with olive oil. Put 1 tbsp garlic and an inch of ginger paste on each breast and rub in to create a coating. Pour balsamic over both breasts, place the sprig of rosemary over them, and put them into the oven. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes and serve with a couple of delicious vegetables!
