The recipe is pretty straightforward. Start with the onions. Sauté the thinly sliced onions and thyme for about 5 minutes. Then add the honey and red wine vinegar and let simmer for 15 minutes. Now, you need to pound the chicken breasts. The goal is to make them more even. Use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap to even thickness. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the hot skillet with olive oil and pan-sear it. Meanwhile, add the cherry tomatoes to the pan with onions and cook until the tomatoes start to burst. Serve the chicken over a bed of greens and topped with onion tomato sauce. Enjoy!
To make the Chicken with Onion Tomato Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and add 4 thinly sliced onions and thyme leaves. Sauté for 5 minutes.
Stir in 2 teaspoons honey and 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes.
Pound 4 chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and black pepper.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the chicken. Cook the chicken breasts until the bottom side is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the chicken is cooked and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken stand in the skillet for 3 minutes before serving.
Add 14 ounces halved cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the tomatoes start to burst, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve the chicken over a bed of arugula and topped with onion tomato sauce.
