Balsamic Chicken and Peppers

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
Valerie Moore of Olathe, Kansas likes using a colorful blend of peppers to brighten her skillet specialty—and a little balsamic vinegar to flavor the tender chicken. If you prefer a stronger flavor, add a little more!

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 each medium sweet yellow, red and orange peppers, julienned
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

  • 1. Sprinkle chicken with pepper and salt. In a large skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon oil for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°; drain. Remove chicken and keep warm.
  • 2. In the same skillet, saute peppers and onion in remaining oil for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Return chicken to the pan. Add vinegar; heat through.
