Balsamic Roasted Chicken

I am always trying to find new ways to make chicken. Most of us eat chicken at least several times a week and its sometimes hard to find recipes that are good but easy to prepare.  Well this recipe will mix it up and wake up your taste buds. I created this one with some left over vinaigrette that I poured over chicken and it was delicious.  this dish is very flavorful so I would serve it  simply with some steamed vegetables and a good glass of  wine.


INGREDIENTS

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tb spicy mustard
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves minced
2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 Tb chopped parsley


DIRECTIONS
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F

Whisk together balsamic vinegar, spicy mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt/pepper in small bowl.
Wash and pat dry chicken breasts. Coat chicken with vinaigrette and arrange in bottom 9x9 baking dish. Pour 1 Tb of vinaigrette over each chicken and roast until chicken is cooked through about 1 hour.  Transfer chicken to serving dish and cover to keep warm.  Scrape bottom of baking dish with a wooden spoon getting up all the brown bits. Whisk in chicken broth and pour over chicken. Garnish with parsley

Serves 4
