Hey, Mom here.  Posting my recipe I made last night that Pops was raving about.  He thought I needed an iron skillet like you guys, so guess what I got for my birthday?  I used it for the first time with this recipe.  It's really easy and healthy too.  I didn't take any pictures of the process, so here is nothing but the plain and simple instructions.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN

1 tsp. olive oil
3/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
4 garlic cloves
2 boneless chicken breasts (I cut mine in half to make 4 smaller pieces)
1 cup sliced green, red or yellow bell peppers or combination of any
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained

Heat the olive oil in a skillet (I used iron, of course) over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, saute 3 minutes.  Add chicken, cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned.  Add peppers, mushrooms, vinegar, tomatoes and Italian seasoning.  Reduce heat to medium-low, cook 20 minutes or until chicken is done.  Serve over cooked rice.

I had some marinated artichoke hearts leftover in the fridge and threw those in with the mixture too. 

Try it.  Let me know how you like it.
