Easy Cooking: Balsamic Chicken

i'm not making this for dinner tonight, but I have in the past several times and wonder why I don't do it more. I got the Braised Balsamic Chicken recipe from allrecipes.com (as always) but made a few tweeks to make it very lazy (and thrifty) mom approved.

Ingredients:
7-10 chicken thighs (or however many fits in your saute pan)
Balsamic Vinegar
Can of crushed tomatoes
Seasoning (salt, pepper, and anything you want to flavor the chicken with)


Directions:
*pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
1. season your chicken, and then place it on a medium/high heat pan to fry it.
2. If you don't want the extra oil... dump it, if you don't mind go to step 3.
3. pour in a cup of balsamic vinegar and the tomatoes
4. put a lid on it and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes (I do this cause i buy chicken thighs which are way cheaper than breasts, and braising it in the oven cooks it thoroughly with the bone in there while keeping it moist).

I serve it with rice... and it's really really delicious... If you want to go the 'extra' mile, you can reduce the sauce from the pan so it's not as runny, and it's quite tasty too!! Happy Cooking!
