Author Notes
A while back my husband introduced me to balsamic vinegar. Bless him. After our acquaintance was made I soon began to wonder new dinner I could make with it. I thought of what would pair best with balsamic vinegar and immediately thought of tomatoes… then after a little playing in the kitchen a new recipe was born! This was one of the first recipes I developed on my own and it has held a special place in my heart because of it.
I have used a variety of herbs in the past, but sage has always been my preferred. Usually I use dried sage, but this week I had some fresh sage leaves. What a treat! I love fresh herbs! —The Scent of Oranges
Ingredients
-
1
onion, diced
-
2-3 tablespoons
garlic, minced
-
2
large handfuls of spinach
-
1 cup
chicken broth, plus some for simmering
-
1/2 cup
balsamic vinegar
-
4 pieces
of chicken OR 3 cans of garbanzo beans
-
2 (15 oz)
cans of diced tomatoes
-
Salt
-
Pepper
-
Herb of choice
Directions
-
Thaw chicken, if frozen. Sauté onion, garlic and spinach in a little bit of chicken broth.
-
Add tomatoes, broth, balsamic vinegar and chicken. Simmer on medium high until chicken is cooked, approximately 10-20 minutes.
-
Once chicken is cooked, shred the chicken into smaller pieces (I do this with two forks). Add seasonings to taste.
-
You can cook this in a Crock Pot if you wish. I would still sauté the onions and garlic, but after that add everything to the pot and cook it for 8-10 hours in order for the chicken to stay tender. You can even put frozen chicken in the Crock Pot.
