AUNT JULES' BALSALMIC CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS



Aunt Jules' Balsalmic Chicken with Peppers image

My aunt made this for Christmas Eve one year -- it's fantastic! I tweaked her recipe just a bit to my taste, and cooked this meal for a date night. We have been together ever since! Adjust the garlic and vinegar to your liking. I happen to believe that garlic should be included in every meal,so I tend to add more depending on my mood. Don't be put off by the smell of the vinegar. As it cooks down, it becomes sweet and not as strong. Your nose may tell you otherwise! I serve a Pinot Grigio and rice pilaf with this dish to round out the meal.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 large red onion, cut into strips
1 bunch fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 (6 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and drizzle the olive oil into the hot skillet. Cook and stir 4 garlic cloves just until fragrant, about 1 minute, smashing them into the oil with a spoon as you stir. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and brown them in the hot oil until the surface is golden and the meat is no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter and keep warm.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, and scrape up any browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in 2 more cloves of garlic, the green, red, and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and asparagus, and cook and stir until the vegetables are brightly colored and softened, about 10 minutes. Toss the spinach leaves with the hot vegetables to just wilt the spinach. Divide the cooked vegetables between 4 serving plates, and top each plate with a chicken breast.
  • Stir the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar into the skillet over medium-low heat, stirring until the vinegar comes to a full boil and the sugar has dissolved. Cook the mixture until reduced and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes; spoon the balsamic sauce over each chicken breast to serve.

CHICKEN BREASTS AND GARLIC BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Chicken Breasts And Garlic Balsamic Vinegar image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, one pot, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 pounds
3/4 pound small to medium-size mushrooms
2 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Split each chicken breast lengthwise in half. Cut away and discard any thin membranes that may remain on the flesh.
  • Rinse the mushrooms; drain and pat dry.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper and dredge the chicken breast halves in the mixture. Shake off excess flour.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and cook the chicken breasts until nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes over moderately high heat. Add the garlic cloves.
  • Turn the chicken pieces and scatter the mushrooms over all. Continue cooking, shaking the skillet and redistributing the mushrooms so that they cook evenly. Cook about 3 minutes and add the balsamic vinegar and broth. Add the bay leaf and thyme.
  • Cover closely and cook over moderately low heat 10 minutes. Turn the pieces occasionally as they cook.
  • Transfer the pieces to a warm serving platter and cover with foil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of peppers: Bell peppers, poblano peppers, and Anaheim peppers are all good choices for this dish. You can also use a mix of different colors of peppers to add visual appeal.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and peppers, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken and peppers in batches: If you're using a large amount of chicken and peppers, you may need to cook them in batches. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is thick and syrupy, with a rich, sweet flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken and peppers will be at their best when they're hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken and Peppers with Balsamic Vinegar is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the peppers are roasted to perfection, and the balsamic vinegar adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that brings the dish together. Serve this dish with a side of rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
