BAKED BALSAMIC CHICKEN



Baked Balsamic Chicken image

Love balsamic vinegar, hope you enjoy this chicken. Note; I have found that it's better with boneless, skinless chicken breast or boneless, skinless thighs. Baking time may be less due to size.

Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 chicken breast halves, bone in
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 400 degrees.
  • Arrange the chicken bone side down in a 9-by-13 inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • pour the vinegar over them and sprinkle evenly with the oil, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Bake the chicken 20 minutes and baste with the vinegar juices.
  • Bake 20 minutes more (depending the size of breast) or until juices run clear.
  • Serve chicken with juices spooned over them.

Tips:

  • Prep and marinate the chicken ahead of time: This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken and results in a more flavorful dish.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: This is the key ingredient in the marinade and sauce, so make sure to use one that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Baked balsamic chicken is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chicken mild or spicy, there is a balsamic marinade recipe that will suit you. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner, give baked balsamic chicken a try.
