Notes

  • You can use Roma tomatoes in place of the grape tomatoes if you prefer.
  • Scallion makes a great substitute for the red onion. You could also use 1 clove of minced garlic in place of, or in addition to, the onion.
  • If your chicken breasts are varying thickness, pound to an even thickness so that they will cook evenly.
  • The brown sugar helps to add a bit of sweetness to balance out the balsamic vinegar. You can omit it or use a little more or less to taste. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
