Description
Topped with a tangy balsamic, tomato, onion, and basil sauce, these juicy grilled chicken breasts are the perfect weeknight main dish.
Ingredients
•
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
•
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
•
1 cup chicken broth
•
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
•
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
•
1 tablespoon cold water
•
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2
Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
3
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and slowly add to the balsamic sauce. Stir until thickened. Toss chicken strips in balsamic sauce and serve.
