Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon rosemary crushed, dried
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 8 (3 ½ oz. each) chicken thigh trimmed, boneless skinless
- 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil divided
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper thinly sliced, red or yellow
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 petite diced tomatoes 14 ounce can
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup chicken broth fat-free
- salt if desired
- black pepper if desired
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture over the chicken thighs.
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining ½ teaspoon olive oil. Add the onion and red bell pepper, and cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the diced tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then nestle the chicken thighs into the tomato mixture. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve over rice or quinoa.
