Balsamic Chicken & Asparagus

By á-7075

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 4 oz mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup plus 2 Tb balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup plus 1 t olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine 1/2 balsamic, 1/4 olive oil, garlic powder and pepper into a ziploc bag. Add in raw chicken breasts and marinate from 30 minutes to overnight. After marinating, grill chicken.

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the end of asparagus (bend asparagus until it breaks, this is where you should be cutting off the ends). Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil. Line asparagus on the cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Place on top rack of oven for 8-10 minutes until tender (until you can easily pierce with a fork).

3. In a frying pan, place sliced grape tomatoes in 1 teaspoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Cook for a few minutes until tomatoes start to get soft (where you can squish them with a fork).

4. Place chicken and asparagus on a serving dish, top with tomatoes and mozzarella. Drizzle with extra balsamic mixture from tomatoes.
