Chicken with Tomato Balsamic Vinaigrette

After a long day of work for both of us, this easy but delicious chicken dish was perfect for a nice healthy dinner. We looked through many recipes, but found none that combined everything we like, so we came up with our own:

1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cups finely chopped onion
3/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
salt and pepper
1 large chicken breast
mixed greens

Mix vinegar, onion, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika in a small bowl. Whisk to combine then whisk in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle in thyme and add to tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and the remaining thyme and paprika. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side then add the tomatoe-vinaigrette and cook an additional 3-5 minutes. 

Slice the chicken and divide over mixed greens. Spoon the vinaigrette over the chicken.

Enjoy!!
