Balsamic Chicken with Asparagus

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 bunch fresh asparagus

1 pint grape tomatoes

4 ounces mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup, plus 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup, plus 1 tsp olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp pepper

Combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic powder and pepper in a ziploc bag.  Add in chicken breasts and marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.  After marinating, grill chicken.  

Preheat oven to 400.  Line a cookie sheet with foil, wash and break off rough ends of asparagus and place on cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 8-10 minutes until tender.

In a pan, place sliced grape tomatoes with 1 tsp olive oil and 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar.  Cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes start to get soft.

Place chicken and asparagus on a dish, top with tomatoes and mozzarella, and drizzle with the extra balsamic mixture from the tomatoes. Look how good this looks:

Seriously, delicious!  So light and fresh and full of flavor!!  Enjoy!  :)
