Balsamic Chicken, Asparagus and Roasted tomatoes with Mozzarella
Easy, healthy, delicious!

Ingredients

2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I always cut ours in half since they are usually ginormous)
1 bunch asparagus
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
4 oz mozzarella cheese, cubed
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup + 1 t spolive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper



Directions

1. Combine 1/2 cup balsamic, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic powder and pepper into a ziploc bag. Add in raw chicken breasts and marinate 30 minutes to overnight. After marinating, grill the chicken.

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the end of asparagus (bend asparagus until it breaks, this is where you should be cutting off the ends). Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil. Line asparagus on the cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on top rack of oven for 8-10 minutes until tender.

3. In a pan, place sliced grape tomatoes in 1 tsp olive oil and 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Cook for a few minutes until tomatoes start to get soft (where you can squish them with a fork).

4. Place chicken and asparagus on a serving dish, top with tomatoes and mozzarella. Drizzle with extra balsamic mixture from tomatoes.
