Balsamic-Garlic Chicken

Simple. Healthy. Delicious. What more can you ask for? (Serves 2)

4 Chicken Thighs (you could substitute with 2 lg breasts)
1/4 C Olive Oil
1/4 C Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tb Minced Garlic
Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). Place thighs in glass baking dish. Drizzle olive oil and vinegar over chicken. Sprinkle minced garlic. Salt and pepper each piece (fresh ground black pepper works best). Bake covered for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes. TIPS: If you want the outside of your chicken to be slightly crispy, put under the broiler on high for about 5 minutes. Also, don't be afraid to be liberal with the salt. The vinegar is tangy, so you'll need to balance it out with the salt.

Awesome with: lightly buttered herb-garlic pasta and a simple green salad
