GLAZING YOUR CHICKEN WITH JAM AND BALSAMIC - LONGMEADOW FARM
After a glumpie Sunday afternoon, where the remaining leaves precariously fell from the dormant trees, a cool mist had settled in the valley below, the world appeared to me; to have hibernated, here on the farm. I pondered what I might do to enhance the palette and stomachs of everyone who graced our table that evening. Normally, we have a casual get together, the "boys" come over, my Dad ambles over from his house, and the cattle were sleeping peacefully, all rejoicing the cool mist after the hot summer we had just completed. I decided to try something a bit different from my usual fare. Quietly tucked away in the back of the cabinet I found some apricot jam, along with the last bit of some balsamic vinegar. You and I both know, there are a sundry of chicken and balsamic ......out there. I said, "What the hay...." added some fresh thyme, let's see what happens? Melted the jam, vinegar, roast the chicken breasts, baste the jam glaze on top of chicken. What could be easier? I guess just roasting the chicken breasts with nothing, would be easier. That night we sat, enjoyed the company, the laughs from the weekend, the new calf stories, and our family. I hope you feel the same, enjoy whomever your company is, or just enjoy the quietness of alone time, where ever you are, have a good night, and replenish your palette and your soul as well.

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:
- 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 make it more evenly cooked.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: This is the key ingredient in the onion jam, so make sure to use a vinegar that you enjoy the taste of.
- Cook the onion jam slowly: This allows the onions to caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
- Don't crowd the chicken breasts in the pan: This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: This helps to prevent them from drying out.
- Baste the chicken breasts with the onion jam: This helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately: This is when they are at their best.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Onion Jam is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken breasts are tender and juicy, and the onion jam is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
