SKILLET CHICKEN IN ONION CREAM SAUCE

Chicken breasts dipped in balsamic vinegar, onion sauce with a hint of garlic and fresh parsley made my skillet, my family and me happy.

I have to say that I have hungered my self after all those Valentines sweets and chocolate for some salty and tasty meals. Yet, my hunger has to be restrained… That’s the reason for choosing chicken breasts, in order to make this dinner lite. You are perfectly aware of that most common lie everybody uses, I am on a diet from tommorow… Well, I have moved that to today. From now on I am paying attention to what I eat. OK, it’s not all about me here. I have to cook for all of us, so, I will turn to healthier and more lite food.
