Chicken Balsamico


The ingredients are simple, but the result is a quick & tasty meal.

Take a chicken breast or two & marinade it in your favorite balsamic vinegar dressing (this one is my favorite)

Layer a bag of spinach then your marinaded chicken breasts, throw some red roasted peppers & then mozzarella on top of it all. Final step pour more balsamic vinaigrette over it all & bake for about 30 min @ 350

Thanks Virginia Cosgrove for a really yummy dish!!
