Ingredients
  

For the Seasoning Mix:

  • 1 tablespoon dry oregano
  • 1 tablespoon granular sweetener
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

For the Chicken and Marinade:

  • 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts about 4 pieces
  • 1/4 cup oil avocado or evoo
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons dry seasoning mix

For The Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 5.5 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 ounce shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon dry seasoning mix

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the dry seasoning mix. You should yield 3 tablespoons in total (about 0.8 ounces).
  • In a large measuring cup, add the oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, water and 2 tablespoons of the dry mix. Whisk until combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Pour the marinade on top. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes prior to baking.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Uncover the chicken. Do NOT drain the marinade. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce in a nonstick skillet.
  • Over medium heat, saute the garlic cloves and shallots in the butter until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the halved tomatoes and saute until blistered, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of seasoning mix and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and heavy cream and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven. Nestle the cooked chicken (not the juices) into the prepared sauce. Serve immediately.
