Show me someone who loves taking pictures of brown food, and I’ll show you a person who belongs in the looney bin. While this Balsamic Chicken and Vegetables gave me fits behind the camera, my tastebuds gave it rave reviews.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb. chicken breast (chopped into bite sized chunks)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1/2 orange bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1/2 zucchini (sliced in rounds then sliced in half)
  • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tomato (chopped)
  • 4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Warmed pita bread to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook until each side is golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the red and orange bell pepper to the skillet and cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and mushrooms and cook until softened and starting to brown, another 2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomato, the balsamic vinegar, and the garlic stirring everything together to coat. Cook for another 5-8 minutes or until the balsamic vinegar thickens slightly and coats the chicken and vegetables. Season with the oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Serve by itself, over rice, or with grilled pita or naan bread.

Notes

  • I like to serve this with warm pita bread, fried in a teensy bit of olive oil in a hot skillet and sprinkled with garlic salt. It’s just the right sturdiness to scoop up hunks of balsamic chicken, peppers, zucchini, and tomato.
  • If you’d like to keep this gluten free, you can serve it over rice or or quinoa.
