Balsamic Chicken with Zucchini Pasta Recipe

This is one of my favorite dishes and it is super easy to fix. It tastes delicious and is low on carbs!  I slightly tweaked the original recipe for Balsamic Chicken from All Recipes.

Ingredients

  • Boneless chicken breast. I use 2 large breasts trimmed in half lengthwise to make 4 servings. You can use up to 6 chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes or fresh tomatoes diced
  • 1 small can of sliced mushrooms or fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Mix
  • 1 tsp of sugar (optional)

Side Dish of Zucchini Pasta Ingredients

  • 2 zucchinis
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook seasoned chicken breasts until chicken is browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add onion and mushrooms; cook and stir until onion is browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Pour diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken; season with Italian Seasoning Spice Mix. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Make sure you give this a quick taste, sometimes it can be somewhat bitter, if that is the case, toss in a teaspoon of sugar.

Directions for Zucchini Pasta Side Dish

  1. Heat olive oil in separate skillet.
  2. Prepare zucchini with spiralizer and add to skillet and toss for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Serve alongside the chicken covering the zucchini with the sauce and tomatoes.

Enjoy – you are going to love it!
