Balsamic Chicken

The combo of the sweet tomatoes and the tangy vinegar make this dish really delicious!! This works really well served with rice. Below is a (horrible) picture of ours tonight with some roasted asparagus.

4-6 chicken breasts
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup onions (red, yellow, whatever)
1 tlb italian seasoning
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1-2 cloves garlic
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil

On med-high heat, drizzle pan with evoo, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and brown on both sides, also adding in the onion. I add the garlic after the chicken is browned to avoid burning, it can get bitter. Once chicken is browned and garlic is in and fragrant, add the can of diced tomatoes, italian seasoning and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 15-20 mins on med heat until chicken is cooked through.

Trying to join the blogging world (again)


At this point, I'm basically talking to myself because I have no followers :-(. Hopefully that will soon change!! I'll start this off by posting a recipe below, and some new pictures of my adorable boy. He makes me want to pull my hair out about 1000 times a day but I can't live without him <3.







Easy Stroganoff
This is a super easy stroganoff recipe that my husband asks for regularly (and super picky Dominic even eats it!). I hope you love it as much as we do around here!

1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
1/2 lb whole wheat egg noodles (regular egg noodles, rice, etc work here also)
1/2 c chopped onion
1 c light sour cream
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tlbs flour
1 can reduced sodium cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c or so of peas(frozen or cooked, both will heat up in the pan quickly)
2 tlbs butter
few splashes of worcestershire
pepper

In a skillet, brown meat with the butter, worcestershire, onion, flour and paprika (you can add a little more butter here if you wish. I normally use nonstick spray and the 2 tlbs butter to cut down on fat). Once the meat is cooked through, add cream of mushroom soup and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream and peas, warm through, add noodles, and pepper to taste.

*If you don't have cream of mushroom, no prob, use cream of chicken. Worcestershire isn't absolutely necessary, I just love the taste it adds. If you don't have peas, no biggie! If you like fresh mushrooms, add some! Enjoy!
