Provided by The Hearty Boys

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 stick butter
12 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 pints cherry tomatoes, quartered
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cups red wine
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the vegetable oil and butter into a large skillet and place over high heat. Once the butter and oil are bubbling, add the chicken breasts to the skillet 4 at a time. Sear on each side until the chicken is golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a large baking dish. Repeat with the remaining breasts and set aside.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, toss to combine and then follow with the balsamic vinegar and red wine and season with salt and pepper. Bring up to a bubble then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. [Simmering the wine in this mixture does not reduce the alcohol content substantially.]
  • Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken and place the pan in the top half of the oven for 10 minutes, or until the chicken has just cooked through. Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and set into a prepared chafer.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to infuse the chicken breasts with flavor and moisture. The recipe suggests a simple marinade of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, but you can also experiment with other flavors, such as lemon, honey, or soy sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling the chicken breasts, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will steam instead of grill.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown quickly on the outside but remain raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The best way to ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After grilling the chicken breasts, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Balsamic glazed grilled chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. The marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, and the balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a salad.
