Balsamic Chicken, Roasted Asparagus and Red and Green Spinach Garden Salad

The rice wasn't done when I took the picture, oh well:)

BALSAMIC VINEGAR CHICKEN

1/2 onion chopped
1-2 tbsp. olive oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 chicken breasts chopped
1/2 c. Balsamic Vinegar

Cook chicken in olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the vinegar reduces to what you want.
Serves 3-4. I serve it on a bed of wild rice.

WILD RICE

cook according to your brand's package, I like tossing in a little butter for flavor

ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Prep asparagus by snapping off the ends-it's natural split- and line them on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on asparagus, sprinkle course salt and pepper to taste. Toss asparagus and cook in an oven on 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. If you use the thinner asparagus it might only need 15-20, depending on tenderness desired. Evan likes them over cooked and crispy.

RED AND GREEN SPINACH GARDEN SALAD

Mix in a bowl:
Spinach-cleaned
cherry tomatoes
(roughly chopped for the following)
red bell peppers
green bell peppers
cucumbers
slivered almonds-if you have them

Dress with your favorite dressing

  1. Oh, my yumminess, Batman! That sounds sooooo good! Just a thought: include pics of the finished product... that's always a bit more enticing, but of course, it's your blog, so you know, whatever. ;) But really, that sounds soooo good! :) :) :)
