The Sisters are looking for low carb recipes these days...
It's time to shed our winter coats per say...
This recipe from, For The Love of Cooking looks both fabulous and easy.
A winning combination as far as I'm concerned.
Chicken Breasts with Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions and Feta Cheese
Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking.net
Ingredients...
1/2 sweet yellow onion, sliced thinly
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup of red grape tomatoes
Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
Garlic powder, to taste
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
2-3 tbsp of feta cheese
Instructions...
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and a bit of salt then saute until golden brown and caramelized – about 15-20 minutes.
In large grill pan, heat the other tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat and season the chicken breasts with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste. Make sure pan is nice and hot before adding the chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes before turning over. Cook for additional 3-4 minutes to desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat to a serving platter. Make sure to let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing so it stays nice and juicy. Slice into thin strips at an angle once it has rested.
In the same skillet as the onions, add the grape tomatoes then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft. Add minced garlic, stirring frequently for 60 seconds. Pour the tomatoes and onions on top of the sliced chicken, drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
Top with feta cheese and fresh basil.
The table is all set...
The season is here, so you know we're going to be eating outside for a while...
It's your turn. Let's talk!

Love your garden setting for dining al fresco. Very chic.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I'm standing here eating my English muffin and it so doesn't taste as good after seeing that chicken. I'll have to try this recipe since it also sounds quick and easy. Love that outside setting!
Enjoy your day Mona!

If I'm lucky the Fishing Gods will smile on me and I'll catch the season's first striped bass this afternoon...
Otherwise it's taco night...

Thanks for sharing! So glad you are busy, Mona...don't forget to step back and b~r~e~a~t~h~e! ♥♥
Can't wait to try this, Mona. I am not a feta cheese person, but I will add another cheese. Looks amazing, and I LOVE cherry tomatoes!
Hope that you are having a wonderful weekend.
