Healthy Balsamic Baked Chicken

This past weekend was such a fun weekend in Montgomery! It was "Rites of Spring," a golf and tennis tournament at our country club that turns into a weekend of laying by the pool by day and dancing to live bands by night. Hubs played in the golf tourney and one of my best friends played (and WON) the tennis tournament! It was such a fun weekend but was full of buffet food. By Monday, I was so ready for a healthy dinner to detox my body from food and poolside Madrases. 

A little rain delay with friends.

Saturday night with Trotline. 

Friends! 

Okay lets move on to whats on the table tonight. I made a super easy baked chicken that is full of flavor without all the calories. My covering the dish with aluminum foil and cooking in liquid, the chicken stays moist and tender. Lets get cooking!


Balsamic Baked Chicken 
GF/DF

Ingredients: 

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil 
1/2 t dried basil
1/2 t dried cilantro
1/2 t dried oregano
1/4 t salt
1/4 t fresh ground black pepper 
2 cloves garlic 


What to do:

Trim any excess fat off of your chicken.

Add your chicken to a gallon size ziplock bag.

Mince your garlic.

Add your balsamic vinegar, olive oil, basil, cilantro, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic into the bag with the chicken.


Flip the bag over several times to Mix well. Allow to marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes. 


Now lets get that oven preheated to 400°.

Transfer your chicken to a small baking dish.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. 

Remove the foil carefully as steam will escape when you open it. 


Grab a knife and fork and dig in!!!

Thanks Y'all!
