For a thicker sauce, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste during the last 30 minutes of cooking. To add vegetables, consider including sliced bell peppers or zucchini along with the onions. This recipe is also great with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for a richer flavor. Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your preference. Start with ½ cup and add more to taste after cooking.
