CHICKEN WITH TOMATO AND APPLE BALSAMIC VINEGAR
Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan until very hot. Add oil and when almost smoking, add the chicken and saute until golden brown on all sides. Add the onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Transfer meat to a plate and keep warm. Deglaze pan with the wine and vinegar. Reduce by half. Add the tomato, butter, and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil and add the chicken. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Remove chicken, and with an immersion blender, blend sauce.
- Place chicken back into the sauce. Rectify seasoning. Bring to a boil and serve.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use ripe, crisp apples for this recipe. Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Braeburn apples are all great choices.
- If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add, as these vinegars are more tart than balsamic vinegar.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer it for a few minutes longer. You can also add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to thicken the sauce.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over rice, pasta, or quinoa. You can also add a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
This apple balsamic chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve it over your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
