Baked Balsamic Vinegar Chicken

Well it sure has been awhile since my last post! Don't worry, that doesn't mean I haven't been cooking and creating new good eats- I have just been distracted with school, especially with finals coming up.

This recipe is a great quick and easy meal without sacrificing taste or nutrition. I was able to throw it together in between studying, and it was a nice study break as well.

With that said, here are the few ingredients it takes to put it together. This recipe also just makes 1, so if you're planning on feeding more than that, I would suggest doubling, tripling, or whatever-ing your ingredient amounts.

Ingredients:
- 1 boneless, skinless, chicken breast
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 scallion stalk
- 1/8 sweet onion
- Garlic powder
- Rosemary
- Lemon pepper
- Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Place the defrosted chicken breast in a medium mixing bowl
- Lightly cover both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, rosemary, and lemon pepper all to your own taste
- Once the chicken breast is coated, place on a baking sheet (place foil down first and lightly spray with cooking spray)
- Chop the garlic clove and scallion and sprinkle over the chicken
- Thinly slice the sweet onion and also sprinkle over the chicken
- Lastly, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the chicken
- Place in the oven for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked

I paired the chicken with a baked sweet potato (with cinnamon sprinkled on top) and steamed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, and brussel sprouts)
