Nakano Rice Vinegar Jazzes Up Your Recipes in a Low Calorie Way

Braised Tomato Chicken with Nakano Rice Vinegar
Low Carb or Low Calorie–Nakano Seasoned Rice Surprises
I made my favorite Low Carb/Low Calorie recipe today but switched up an ingredient. Instead of Balsamic Vinegar which lends a smokey meaty flavor to this recipe, I substituted Nakano Seasoned Roasted Garlic Seasoned Rice Vinegar. I had no idea that a one ingredient adjustment could so radically change a recipe. The Seasoned Rice Vinegar was much lighter and slightly sweeter, but still provided a full flavored punch. My darling husband Walt and I just loved the new twist on our favorite recipe and even added it to the potatoes that we served with the recipe. So much lower calorie than sour cream, with the same tangy taste.
Walt and I have really embraced the Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar. We used to use balsamic vinegar quite frequently on our salad, now we are using Nakano Rice Vinegar for a new summery taste to our salads. We have also purchased two bottles for gifts to give to our favorite “Foodie” friends who we knew would enjoy an alternate condiment in their menu as well. Check out our favorite recipe presented in a new way!

- 12 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- ground black pepper and salt to taste
- 2 teaspoon garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced or minced dried onions
- 1 cup Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar (any flavor)
- 2 (14.5 ounce) can diced plum tomatoes
- 2 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Season chicken breasts with ground black pepper and salt.
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet, and brown the onion and seasoned chicken breasts.
- Pour tomatoes and Nakano rice vinegar over chicken,
- Season with basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme.
- Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
This is delicious, freezes well, and tastes super served with baked or boiled potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with the Rice Vinegar as well.

I have these vinegars, and love them! I never thought of using them this way, I’m excited to try!
Another Great sounding Chicken recipe. Nice to know its low Calories and Carbs. I added this one to my Pinterest Board Chicken recipes. I have a nice collection of Chicken recipes now! This Recipe is easy to make too! I Love it!! Thank You for Sharing….
I have been discovering vinegar can be amazing in recipes! This sounds so good, I’d love to try it!
I love Nakano’s rice vinegars; use them in a lot of my stir frys. Never thought to add it to my potatoes, so I’ll try that next time. Thanks for the idea!
I am definitely going to try this. Rice vinegar is awesome and flavored rice vinegar totally rocks in my mind! Can’t wait to give this a shot.
mmmmmmmm
And now I’m hungry. ♥
I love trying new cooking products and new recipes. This one looks wonderful and you have enticed me to try the Nakano Rice Vinegar.
This also tastes awesome with Balsamic Vinegar! The CHief BLonde
I made this for dinner the day I saw the recipe & it was very tasty. I am now out of Nakano seasoned vinegar because I made it two more times. We have all the herbs fresh from the garden plus lots of tomatoes have ripened so it’s a great recipe for us. In winter it will be equally as tasty when I use the dried herbs and canned tomatoes. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Well thanks Kitty! It’s definitely one of my favorites too…
looks good cant wait to try
I like the idea of seasoned vinegar!
Memo to self, do not look at food posts just before contemplating a run which would mean eating dinner late. This looks so good I’m going for dinner now and maybe a shorter run later. Gotta check out this vinegar. – Katy
Yum! I keep seeing this Vinegar around! I need to get some and give it a try! Thanks for the post!
You mean the Nakano vinegar or do I need balsamic also? Thanks
‘3.Pour tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken,’
Rice vinegar!
I caught a quick glimpse of this on my Fb feed earlier, and it just looked so delicious! Nakano is great for adding a healthy dash of flavor to just about any dish. Of course, they’re great on non healthy stuff too (like fish and chips)! Mmmmm!
I love cooking with rice vinegar…seasoned varieties will just make my taste buds explode!
Shrimps are hot too! 🙂
Oh, YUM! This just might be tomorrow’s dinner. 😀
This looks delicious! We love NAKANO vinegars. They are outrageous!!
I have this vinegar and never came up with a good recipe for it…I’ll have to try this, my dear! Thank you!
