Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Balsamic Chicken

Chicken in the crockpot is delicious. The longer you leave it in, the more fall-off-the-bone-tender it becomes. Try this recipe out before crock-pot season ends (summertime!)

INGREDIENTS
4-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
1 onion thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 TBS olive oil
1 tsp each- dried oregano, basil, and rosemary
1/2 tsp thyme
ground black pepper and salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

Pour the olive oil on bottom of crockpot. Place in chicken breasts, salt and pepper each breast. Add in sliced onion, then all dried herbs and garlic. Pour in vinegar and top with tomatoes.

Cook on high for 4 hours. Serve over pasta.VERDICT

This is delicious! I have no changes to recommend, this recipe has plenty of flavor on it's own.
