Tonight's Recipe for Chicken in a Basalmic Vinegar Sauce

Ok, I'm really loving the veggies lately, so tonight I made chicken in a balsamic vinegar sauce with TONS of veggies.  It was really easy.

preheat the oven to 350
chicken breasts (enough to feed the family)
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3 cups chicken stock
1 red bell pepper, chopped small
1 onion, chopped small, I used purple...so pretty
2 celery stalks, chopped small
1/2 zucchini, chopped small
8 cloves garlic, chopped small
handful of frozen sliced shitaki mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil

I put the olive oil in a pan and heated it up; add chicken breasts, and brown on each side, set aside in a baking dish; add all of the veggies into the pan and saute them until they're mostly cooked; pour veggies over chicken in baking dish; in the pan, add the balsamic vinegar and chicken stock, simmer until it reduces; pour reduced sauce over chicken and veggies, cover with foil and bake until a meat thermometer reads 160

It was so very yummy!  Billy poured some of the veggies and sauce over his mashed potatoes and just LOVED IT.  Even the 4 year old was asking for 3rds!
