Chicken Breasts and Balsamic Vinegar image

I needed a fast recipe for some boneless chicken, and this was it. Adapted a bit from a recipe I had, it was delicious. Suitable for just family, or company, too.

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, either pound it out thinly, or fillet the chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon herbes de provence (recipes for this spice mix are available on Recipezaar)
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish, and dredge the chicken in it.
  • Heat oil in large skillet and cook the chicken until brown on one side (about 3-4 min).
  • Turn the chicken and add the garlic.
  • Cook 3 minutes more, while stirring the garlic around.
  • Add the broth, vinegar, bay leaves, and herbs.
  • Cover tightly, reduce heat to med-low, cook for about 10 minutes, turning chicken a couple of times. (When you get to the end of this step, you have a choice...you can proceed and reduce the sauce, or you can stop now after ADDING THE TBSP OF BUTTER. This way, you have more sauce, which is the way my husband likes it.)
  • When chicken is done, remove from pan.
  • Bring heat back up to med.
  • ,and cook the pan juices for 7 minutes, uncovered.
  • Stir in butter and remove bay leaves.
  • Spoon sauce over the chicken.
  • I served white rice on the side, and spooned a bit of sauce over that, too.
  • Yum.

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 breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Pound the chicken breasts: This helps to tenderize the chicken and makes it more evenly thick, so it cooks more evenly.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years. This will give it a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken breasts, make sure they are not touching each other in the pan. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts and balsamic vinegar is a classic combination that is both delicious and easy to make. This recipe is a great way to enjoy this classic dish. The chicken breasts are cooked to perfection and the balsamic vinegar sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
