BRAISED CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS, TOMATOES AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR
This is a favorite fall/winter recipe in my house. I modified it from a Cook's Illustrated recipe because no one (but me) likes Swiss Chard in my family. When browning the chicken, avoid overcrowding the pot--brown the thighs in two batches if all eight do not fit comfortably. Polenta, wide noodles or mashed potatoes go really well with this dish. Also, it has less calories than the Nutrition Facts calculate because you remove the skin after browning.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat oil in nonreactive Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking; add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook without moving them until skin is crisped and well browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken pieces and brown on second side, about 5 minutes longer; transfer thighs to large plate.
- Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pot. Add onion and tomato paste and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pot with wooden spoon, until tomato paste begins to darken, about 4 minutes (if bottom of pot becomes very dark and sticky, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water, juice from tomatoes or some of chicken broth).
- Add garlic and anchovy and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, and wine, scraping up browned bits with wooden spoon.
- Add red pepper flakes, thyme, and bay.
- Remove and discard skin from chicken thighs, then submerge chicken bone-side up in liquid, adding any chicken juices accumulated on plate.
- Increase heat to high, bring to simmer, cover, then place pot in oven.
- After 30 minutes add green beans. Cook chicken for another 10 minutes or until done (when it offers no resistance when poked with tip of paring knife but meat still clings to bone).
- While chicken cooks, simmer balsamic vinegar in 8-inch nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat until thick, syrupy, and reduced to 1/4 cup, 3 to 5 minutes (begin measuring volume when vinegar begins to cling to sides of saucepan). Set aside.
- Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to plate and tent with foil (I don't always tent it, too lazy); discard bay leaf.
- Bring liquid in Dutch oven to simmer over medium-high heat and cook until the beans are of the tenderness you like.
- Stir about 1/3 cup sauce into balsamic reduction to loosen, then stir mixture into sauce; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Return chicken and accumulated juices to sauce, cook long enough to warm chicken, turning once or twice. Serve immediately.

QUICK-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH GREENS
There's a family of dishes that are both tangy and cozy: hot and sour soup, braised collard greens, puttanesca, brisket and now, this pot of braised chicken and greens. Its bite comes from hot pickled peppers and their brine, while the comfort comes from browned onions, tomato paste, cumin and chicken broth - and the knowledge that you can make this dish quickly with boneless thighs and any dark, leafy greens in your fridge. Eat the stew on top of something starchy to soak up the broth; it's especially good with crunchy olive oil-fried toast (see Tip).

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring just a few times, until translucent and browned, 6 to 9 minutes. Add the peppers, tomato paste, brown sugar and cumin, and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the broth, chicken, greens and pickled-pepper brine. Season with salt and stir to combine. Cover the pot, keep on medium-high and bring to a simmer. Uncover, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered until the chicken is cooked through and the greens are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Using two forks, shred the chicken right in the pot into pieces, then stir to combine. Taste and adjust with salt, sugar (if it's too tangy or spicy) and brine (if it's too sweet or flat). Eat with starch of choice.
HONEY BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS, POTATOES & CHERRY TOMATOES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, a tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Stir well to mix. Place chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top (from step above). Seal and toss the chicken to evenly coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes if chicken is thawed. Overnight is better. Next place the potatoes and cherry tomatoes in a casserole dish, drizzle the remaining olive oil over potatoes, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Put the green beans on top of the potatoes and the chicken on top of the green beans evenly spaced in the dished. Pour the marinade over the casserole dish. Place in 425 degree oven and back 30-45 minutes - depending on how much you have. Based the chicken breast with the pan juices. Use a folk to test the potatoes to be cooked soft enough and taste the green beans for tenderness. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes. Spoon juices over the top and serve.
GREEN BEANS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR
This is a recipe I saved from Ediets. I have found that I prefer a little sea salt, fresh ground pepper and splenda mixed with the sauce, but the original recipe did not call for it. I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix together dressing, balsamic vinegar and honey in a measuring cup. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and sauté the mushrooms for 4 minutes until they have started to brown, then add the green beans and cook for another 4 minutes or until the green beans are crisp-tender. Remove the vegetables from the pan, add the remaining oil and the chicken tenders. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until brown on each side. Remove from the pan. Add in the sauce and stir for a couple minutes until thickened into a glaze consistency. Add the chicken, green beans, and mushrooms back into the pan and add the tomatoes. Stir to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your dish. Use the best chicken, green beans, and tomatoes you can find.

- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will add depth to your dish.
- Simmer the chicken until it is fall-off-the-bone tender: This will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
