Easy Balsamic Chicken (5 Ingredients)

Today’s recipe, Balsamic Chicken, is so good, so simple to make, you will be adding this to your recipe box and making it time and time again. With just a few ingredients (five ingredients and salt and pepper to taste),  around 30 minutes to make, it’s a meal for all ages and is absolutely delicious. My family love this chicken dish!

This recipe is best made with chicken thighs and is cooked in a large skillet on the stove. It calls for butter, onion, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper – that’s it! The original version on Food.com, calls for shallots instead of onion and is without butter or sugar. After reading reviews on food.com, I adjusted the ingredients a bit. I didn’t have shallots, but had a sweet onion and I knew it would be great with a little sugar added. I also took many suggestions that said to brown the chicken first. End result, another winner winner chicken dinner!   I loved the chicken so much, I plan on making it again this weekend, popping it under the broiler once it’s cooked, with fresh sliced tomatoes and feta on top…I’ll be sure to share the results.
