Chicken in Carrot Juice image

After searching the web for recipes that include carrot juice (had too much and nobody at home drinks it), I found two that used it with chicken. I decided to combine them both and got one of the best kitchen experiments in my life. Apricots can be substituted for dates if desired. Served it with saffron rice. Worth a try!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, each cut in half
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 ¼ cups carrot juice
12 dates, pitted and chopped

Steps:

  • Mix flour, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and salt together in a gallon-size resealable bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and shake to coat. Remove chicken and discard unused flour mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil, working in batches, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving oil in the pan.
  • Saute onion and garlic in the same pan used for chicken until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Pour vinegar into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until most liquid is evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Pour carrot juice into onion mixture and bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Add dates, reduce heat, and simmer until liquid is 1/3 the amount as original amount, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add chicken, and simmer, gently stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and carrot juice mixture is deep brown and thickened, 10 to 15 more minutes.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the carrot juice glaze was too sweet. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. It was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough salt and pepper.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the carrot juice glaze was delicious. I think I will try this recipe again with a different cooking method.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of carrots. Next time I will use a less sweet variety.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken I had on hand, and it turned out great. The carrot juice gave the chicken a nice glaze, and the vegetables were tender and flavorful.
