Chicken with Asparagus and Roasted Red Peppers

The other night I made chicken with asparagus, it was great!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chicken broth
1 pound boned and skinned chicken breast halves
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 fresh red pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (hot)
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
  1. Heat the broth in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in the skillet. Cook 15 minutes, until chicken is almost done.
  2. Place asparagus, red peppers and garlic in skillet. Continue cooking 10 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear and asparagus is tender. Place tomatoes in skillet during last 2 minutes of cook time. Sprinkle with vinegar. Top with mozzarella cheese to serve.
