BALSAMICBraised Chicken
This is one of my oldest chicken recipes from when I first started cooking. It’s a very simple recipe with ingredients that you most likely already have, which makes sense because back in the day I was all about making do with what I had (aka avoiding the grocery store….actually, I still do LOL). It only takes about 20 minutes to prepare and makes for a very filling & satisfying meal. Men tend to love this dish since it’s hearty and full of flavor. I like to serve this chicken over a bed of cous cous since it’s dry and absorbs all the flavors. If you haven’t already seen a pattern here, I love to make chicken dishes with lots of juice so my grain can soak up all the deliciousness!
