BALSAMIC CAPRESE CHICKEN SKILLET

So let’s get started. You’ll begin by heating up your pan and adding some butter (1/2 stick) and garlic (make sure the pan is very hot before you add the butter and garlic). And when I say some butter, it’s kind of a lot by the time this recipe is finished. No worries. You’re only having a portion of the recipe and will not consume an entire stick of butter yourself. The butter will turn a nice golden color very quickly. This is a good thing. Let the garlic get flavorful for only about a minute. Add the chicken, and sauté on each side for just a few minutes. The chicken will not be cooked through, but we will reserve it for later. Now add the rest of the butter. (Sorry, I realized I didn’t take any pictures of these first few steps for you).

Add all of your cherry tomatoes to the pan with butter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes and add a lid. You’ll cook for another 5-7 minutes until your tomatoes soften and can be mashed a little bit, it will look like this:

It’s ready to eat!! You’ll need to salt this up a bit, and add more balsamic to your liking. Serve hot. I served this to my kids with crusty bread and they loved it. I ate this on top of a bed of arugula myself without any starch. Pasta would also be perfect with this dish.
