Balsamic Chicken & Rice #onepotwonder

Jump to Recipe

Weeknight dinners and One Pot wonders are so close to synonymous – it’s comical! Being able to cook a whole dinner in a single pot and make your whole family happy is exactly what Homemade on a Weeknight is all about. And this Balsamic Chicken & Rice is a perfect example of creating a full of flavor dinner in a single pot!

Balsamic Chicken & Rice

Balsamic Vinegar is what you need to use for this dish. You do not want a vinaigrette or other dressing, it will change the flavor and the amount of oil in the dish. There is a difference, and it does matter. And you want to find something that is not the cheapest, but more middle of the road to get the actual balsamic flavor and not just a vinegar.

Balsamic Chicken & Rice

I made a quick focaccia to go with this dish. I just use my pizza dough recipes, drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and parsley. Put it in a 425 oven for 12-15 minutes. Should be a light golden brown. I like to cut it in half longwise and then into 1.5 inch strips.

    This looks delicious. I think I would love the tang that the vinegar would add.
