Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- olive oil
- 3-4 peaches, sliced
- 2-3 ears of corn, with the corn cut off the cob
- salt
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, sliced into ribbons
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
Instructions
- In a mason jar, combine balsamic, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Cover and shake until combined. Cut chicken up into large chunks and place in a glass container or zip lock bag. Pour balsamic marinade over chicken and set aside.
- Heat a tablespoon (or so) of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add red onions and sauté for five minutes. Add corn and sliced peaches with a few shakes of salt. Cook for another five minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken to skillet mixture and stir. Pour some of the balsamic mixture left in the glass container or zip lock, into the skillet. Stir again.
- Cover skillet and allow to simmer for about ten minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked through. Lift cover every few minutes to stir, which will help the pieces of chicken become a little browned on all sides.
- Once chicken is done, remove skillet from heat. Lift cover and add in fresh basil and goat cheese. Close cover again for a few minutes to allow the goat cheese to get melty. Serve as is, or with some green and quinoa.
