Balsamic & Shallot Chicken Breasts

Ingredients




  • (8-ounce) bone-in chicken breast halves, skinned 
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided 
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • garlic cloves, chopped 
  • chopped seeded plum tomato 
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions 

Preparation

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. 2. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with pepper and salt. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to pan. Add chicken, meat-side down; cook 7 minutes or until browned. Turn chicken over; cook 3 minutes. Place chicken on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350° for 23 minutes or until done.
  3. 3. Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining oil, shallots, and garlic; sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add tomato and tomato paste; sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add broth; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add vinegar; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 20 minutes or until reduced to 2/3 cup, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce with chicken. Sprinkle with green onions.
