Chicken and Peppers with Balsamic Vinegar

This recipe is one of my boyfriend's favorite, it is super healthy and easy. It's from "allrecipes.com" and was submitted by Robyn (I wish it showed her last name to give her full credit).

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup Olive Oil, divided
4 skinless, boneless Chicken Breast halves cut into strips
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
1 Yellow Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
1 Orange Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
4 large cloves Garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp Basil
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar, divided

DIRECTIONS:

1) Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides. Remove from heat, and set aside.
2) Heat remaining oil in the skillet over medium heat, and stir in the bell peppers and onion. Cook about 5 minutes, until tender. Mix in the garlic, and cook and stir about 1 minute. Mix in the basil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
3) Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Stir in remaining balsamic vinegar just before serving.

Serve over brown rice.

ENJOY!!
