Chicken with Carmelized Onion & Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium bell pepper, seeded & thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 6 Roma tomatoes, seeded & coarsely chopped (3 cups)
  • 1/2 small zucchini, cut into bite-size strips (1/2 cup)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Makes 4 Servings
  1. Preheat broiler. Season chicken with kosher salt and pepper. Place chicken on unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4-5 inches from the heat for 12-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 F), turning once halfway through broiling.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add bell pepper and red onion. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until very tender, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium. Add tomatoes, zucchini, and garlic; cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Stir in balsamic vinegar and thyme.
  3. Thinly slice chicken. Serve chicken with tomato mixture; sprinkle with cheese.

Note: This recipe appears in the Sonoma Diet Cookbook. This is a colorful chicken dish is a great way to contribute to your healthy lifestyle. This dish represents both the colors and flavors of the Mediterranean and will quickly fill you up. The homemade tomato sauce gives the chicken a nice zing to it for flavor. If you don't have feta cheese on hand, use crumbled goat cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese and it will taste just as good.
