How to Make Balsamic And Olive Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes), 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved), and 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar to the pan.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and the balsamic vinegar begins to caramelize (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar during the last 30 seconds of cooking to deepen the flavor.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil (optional) and serve immediately over a bed of mixed greens.
