I found this recipe on the Everybody Likes Sandwiches blog. Click here for the recipe -- Balsamic Chicken

6 - 8 skinless chicken thighs
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, sliced thinly
salt & pepper
1 Tbsp dried rosemary
1 c balsamic vinegar
6 cloves garlic, sliced
  1. Preheat oven to 450˚F.
  2. In a 9x13 baking dish, toss around onion slices and olive oil.
  3. Add chicken to dish and sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.
  4. Put chicken in oven and watch to see that the onions don't burn.
  5. In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar and garlic to a boil. Keep sauce boiling until it reduces into a nice thick, syrupy consistency. Turn off heat and set aside.
  6. When chicken is cooked, about 45 minutes later, scrape up all the onion bits from the bottom of the dish to loosen all the yummy bits and then pour over balasamic vinegar sauce over the chicken.
  7. Set dish to broil for 2-3 minutes or until bubbly.
  8. Serve with sauce heaped over chicken.
Nanette's Notes:
*After the first time I made this recipe, I immediately made a note on it indicating that it was really good...
 good enough for company!
*I like serving this with a side of couscous (preferred) or pasta.
*The balsamic vinegar does not have to be an expensive one, as it is simmered down for so long.  
 Get a quality one, but don't break the bank.  I used the "jug" of balsamic from Trader Joe's and it was great!
